In an effort to expedite Covid-19 booster shot inoculations, four Tokyo wards have decided to open a joint mass vaccination centre at Tokyo Dome next month. The facility will open on March 3, providing the Moderna vaccine to residents of Bunkyo, Shinjuku, Minato and Itabashi wards.
Bookings are now available. However, in order to be inoculated, residents of the aforementioned wards must be aged 18 or older and have observed a six-month window since receiving their second dose. The facility, which will open until May 31 2022, has the capacity to inoculate up to 2,500 people per day.
Getting inoculated at the indoor stadium also comes with a few perks for baseball fans. The on-site doctors and nurses will be dressed in orange Yomiuri Giants uniforms. Even the team mascot will be at the facility to take photos with people after their injections.
To book a slot online, you’ll need the free vaccine coupon that local wards are distributing to their residents via mail.
Not a resident of the aforementioned wards? Here’s our guide on how to get your Covid-19 booster shot in Tokyo.
