It has been about a year since the COVID-19 virus had begun its sweep through the United States. Although the spread of the infection is still continuing, the number of vaccines administered mainly to medical personnel in the United States, which started in December last year, exceeded 50 million at the end of February, and the light of hope is gradually emerging. In Harris County, including the city of Houston, administration has been started as Phase 1 & 2 for those who are engaged in medical treatment, those aged 65 and over, and those aged 16 and over who have a chronic disease.
Under these circumstances, the world has been asking several questions of the medical community, such as, "Can you explain the vaccine to me again?" "How were the people who have been inoculated?" "What are the side effects?" and "Is it safe for a pregnant woman to receive the vaccine?"
In this third webinar installment of JETRO Houston’s Ask A Doctor webinar series, the focus was on the topic of the vaccine, and, just as in previous webinars, explanations came from Japanese infectious disease specialists who treat COVID-19 in Houston.
This program was presented in Japanese.
