About COVID-19 vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccination is making progress in each region. Many people have already received vaccination information and their vaccination coupons. Since many international students are enrolled at our school, we have been discussing the implementation of occupational vaccination or group reservation vaccination with related organizations, but it is currently difficult to implement due to the lack of vaccines in the country and each region. Therefore, regarding the vaccination of current students and faculty members of our school, we will follow the policy below.

1. For the faculty staff, please proceed with vaccination at your own discretion according to the circumstances of the area where you live.

2. For current students, make sure to not lose the vaccination information sent to you, and then make reservations for yourself when possible. Please refer to the links below for information in several languages. We will allow one day of permitted absence from classes to get vaccinated.

3. In the near future, when the vaccination situation has become smooth in Osaka City, we will hold an information meeting with detailed information on how to get vaccinated. We will also continue to consider the possibility of group vaccination as well as post information to our homepage and social media.

4. Getting vaccinated is not mandatory, so please make your own judgment. If you are unsure of what to do, please contact the information centres found within the sites linked below.
