[Message from the President] Cancellation of Vaccinations at TUFS on August 17 and 18

July 30, 2021

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) informed us this afternoon that they will not be able to supply the vaccine for the university-based vaccinations scheduled for August 17 and 18 (the first round) and September 14 and 15 (the second round).
We sincerely apologize to the students, faculty and staff who were scheduled to be vaccinated on these dates.

We will be coordinating with Tokyo Medical and Dental University and other universities to consider alternative methods. However, for the moment, we would appreciate it if you could apply for vaccination at the following venues.

(1) Municipality where your vaccination voucher is issued

(2) University Vaccination Venues in Tokyo
(Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Aoyama Gakuin University)

We apologize for the inconvenience of waiting this long and for the disappointing news. We will contact you as soon as we have an alternative solution.

The second round of vaccinations on Tuesday, August 3, for those who plan to study abroad, will be held as scheduled.

President, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
Kayoko HAYASHI
