#contactcenterworld

Tokyo, Japan, Feb 14, 2021 -- Japan's health ministry is opening a call center to provide consultations on COVID-19 vaccinations following the country's first approval of a vaccine.

Consultations are available from 9 a.m. through 9 p.m. every day, including public holidays and weekends.

Counselors will answer a range of inquiries free of charge, including questions about approved vaccines, possible side effects, and vaccination priority groups.

The call center's phone number is 0120-761-770.

The ministry says it will try to provide accurate information so that people will be able to dispel their concerns about vaccines.

The ministry on Sunday granted its official authorization to a vaccine jointly developed by US pharmaceutical firm Pfizer and German partner BioNTech.

Inoculations will likely start in Japan as early as Wednesday. The first in line for vaccinations are roughly 10,000 to 20,000 medical professionals, followed by senior citizens and others.
