Coronavirus continues to spread, but from December to March each year, Influenza is also prevalent. 

Washing your hands, disinfecting your hands and fingers, and wearing a mask are effective ways of preventing infection. 

You should wash your hands carefully when you get home after having been out and before meals. 

The influenza vaccine is said to decrease the possibility of infection and to prevent symptoms from becoming severe.

Minato City has systems in place to subsidize the costs of routine vaccinations for those aged 65 and over,  and voluntary vaccinations for children from the age of 6 months to the third grade of junior high school.

For details, please see the Minato City website.

The subsection in charge at Minato Public Health Center is the Public Health and Disease Prevention Subsection of the Public Health and Disease Prevention Section.

Having a healthy lifestyle is also important for fighting off illness.

Please stay healthy this winter.
