The health ministry has released a draft COVID-19 vaccination form and letters of notice translated into 12 languages on its website for foreign residents who have difficulty understanding Japanese.
The ministry released basic information on the vaccination, including who can be inoculated, the possible side effects and how a person can get the shot. The vaccination consent form lists health conditions people should watch out for before receiving the shot.
The document has so far been translated into 12 languages ー English, Arabic, French, Indonesian, Korean, Myanmar, Nepalese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Thai ー to help foreign nationals fill out the original form.
