The Mainichi
Japan plans to issue coronavirus vaccination vouchers to its nearly 2.22 million registered foreign residents at the same time as Japanese citizens, but preparations to provide foreign-language information on how to get the jab remain up in the air.
"Basically, the conditions to get vaccinated are the same (for foreigners) as for Japanese citizens," a Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare representative told The Mainichi. "As a rule, vouchers will go to those with registered residences. Those who are clearly living in Japan will get vaccines."
