Nikkei wrote that the GOJ will begin accepting reservations at a large-scale vaccination center in Tokyo for elderly residents of the three prefectures surrounding Tokyo—Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa—at around 11:00 am today. Although next Monday was the original date for people aged 65 or older living in these prefectures to start making such reservations, the GOJ decided to move up the schedule because surplus reservation slots for next week are available.
