Q. How many types of routine vaccinations are there in Japan?
A. About 10 types in total: hepatitis B, Hib, pneumococcus, a combination of four types, BCG, MR (measles rubella), chicken pox, Japanese encephalitis, and HPV (for girls). All are free and publicly funded.
Q. Voluntary vaccination should be given no matter what.
A. Mumps, hepatitis B (pre-regular), influenza, rotavirus, etc. Pediatricians recommend that you administer as many treatments as possible to prevent the condition from becoming more serious.
Q. How to handle vaccination history abroad
A. Look at the list of vaccines for each country and check the differences with the vaccines required in Japan. Additional vaccinations will be given to the unvaccinated doses. The information was recorded in English in the maternal and child health handbook, and it was also transferred to the Japanese mother and child health handbook.
Q. Worried about side effects
A. Fever, swelling, and tingling at the injection site are common and often subside within 1 to 2 days. Anaphylaxis occurs in 1 in 10,000 to 1 million people. Medical institutions will always observe your progress for 30 minutes.
Q. Subsidy for vaccination costs
A. Regular vaccinations are completely free (insurance card, maternal and child health handbook, and pre-examination slip required). Voluntary vaccinations are partially subsidized by local governments. Foreign residents can also receive the same treatment if they are registered as residents.
