Osaka Prefecture has started offering COVID-19 vaccines without reservations at two locations, aiming to speed up inoculations among younger people in particular before a possible sixth wave, at a time when its daily infection numbers have been greater than Tokyo’s.
Starting Saturday, vaccine shots became available to prefectural residents age 16 or older without reservations at My Dome Osaka in the city of Osaka between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. until Oct. 31. They need to bring only their vaccine tickets and a form of identification.
Vaccines without reservations are also being offered as of Wednesday at the new Osaka Prefectural Government annex, beside Osaka Castle Park.
