Japan starts vaccinating healthcare workers against COVID-19
Japan began vaccinating health care workers against the coronavirus on Wednesday, rolling out a cautious inoculation program with just over five months until the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Japan has so far approved only the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and started administering the first shots at a Tokyo hospital on Wednesday morning.
Tokyo Medical Center director Kazuhiro Araki became the first person in Japan to receive the vaccine outside of clinical trials.
