For Foreign Residents / VaccinationVACCINATION & CONSULTATION
Vaccination in Japan
Navigating the vaccination schedule in a new country can be challenging. In Japan, vaccines are categorized into "Routine Immunizations" (covered by public funds/coupons) and "Voluntary Immunizations" (paid out-of-pocket).
Whether you are starting your baby's first vaccines or moving to Japan with an existing record from abroad, our clinic provides comprehensive support to ensure your child stays protected according to both Japanese and international standards.
Vaccination Planning & Catch-up
Supporting International Families 🌐
For patients who have moved from abroad, "syncing" your home country's records with the Japanese schedule is crucial. Our doctor will review your history and create a personalized catch-up plan.
⚠️ Appointment Required: Please book a "Vaccination Consultation" slot. What to bring: Original vaccination records from your country and your Japanese Mother & Child Health Handbook (Boshi Techo).
