Japan begins COVID-19 vaccination drive amid Olympic worries – Euronews
The late rollout will make it impossible to reach so-called “herd immunity” against the virus before the Olympics begin in July, experts say.
Japan began rolling out coronavirus vaccines on Wednesday to healthcare workers but many are wondering if the campaign will move fast enough before the Summer Olympics planned for July.
The country is rolling out vaccines months after other major economies but despite rising infections, Japan has avoided the infections and death rates of western countries.
There are concerns that vaccine shortages and hesitancy over side effects in Japan could hinder efforts to host the Olympics later in the year.
