A nonprofit organization in Kanagawa aims to ensure the prefecture's foreign residents understand Japanese vaccination procedures by printing pamphlets in 10 languages.
The Kanagawa International Foundation has produced and distributed sets of 500 pamphlets in each language to various medical facilities in the prefecture, as well as making them available to download online.
It is now calling on local governments and medical centers to promote them more widely so foreign parents can better protect their children. Kanagawa is home to the fourth-largest foreign community in the nation.
