Dear YNU Students, Faculties and Administrative Staffs

UMEHARA Izuru
President, Yokohama National University

We at Yokohama National University (YNU) have planned its third on-campus vaccination against COVID-19, scheduled for implementation in June, and we would like to thank everyone for their cooperation in completing the survey. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
YNU will continue to prepare for the implementation, but considering the severe infection situation, the government and Kanagawa Prefecture have notified us to recommend vaccination at local vaccination venues.
The current infection situation threatens to spread rapidly, with some suggesting that the seventh wave of the spread of COVID-19 has begun.
The vaccination is not compulsory. You will not be discriminated based on your decision to vaccinate or not. However, please reconsider regarding early vaccination at large-scale vaccination venues or vaccination venues in the municipality where you reside. For more information, please refer to the following.
