wearing a mask, it is tendency that you feel hard to be thirsty and hold the heat
inside the body. Now, let’s bear in mind the following matters, while taking the new
life style in your daily life.
・Taking off a mask if you can keep the enough
distance(2 meters or more) with the people in the outside of the room
・Keeping in mind to take supplemental water
before you feel thirsty

Please Don't Be Late! Vaccinate Your Children (4)
I’m sure there are people who are hesitant
about going to medical facilities while COVID-19 is spreading, but children’s
vaccines have been designated as essential. Make sure your child is getting
their vaccinations at the proper age for each vaccine.
○Why is it important to get vaccinations on schedule?
・The recommended age for each vaccine is determined by the age that
children are most likely to be exposed to the illness. If an infant's
vaccinations, in particular, are delayed, their ability to acquire immunity may
be delayed, and the risk of acquiring a serious illness increases.
・Receiving vaccines beginning 2 months after birth, when immunity
provided by the mother begins to decrease, is vital to protect infants from
contracting illnesses that they are particularly susceptible to (whooping
cough, bacterial meningitis, etc.).
○Is it alright to take my child to get vaccinated right now?
・Medical facilities have given a lot of attention to the times and
places they administer vaccines at by making sure areas are properly ventilated,
disinfected, and such to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
・Be sure to make an appointment before you go to get vaccines
whenever possible. There are medical facilities that will accommodate general
exam patients and different times and locations.
・Prior to the exam, please confirm that you are healthy by taking
your temperature, etc.
