*Vaccination reservations at Kobe University are now closed. Only those who have already received their 1st dose at Kobe University can get their 2nd dose.  

If you wish to be vaccinated, please apply through the local government instead.

There have been numerous cases of people mistyping their email addresses when making a reservation. If the reservation completion screen is displayed, then this means that your reservation has been accepted even if you did not receive an email confirming this. Therefore, we recommend that you save a screenshot of the page showing your completed reservation.

Please see the following link for the FAQ about the Novel Coronavirus Vaccine

 

The novel coronavirus vaccinations are voluntary. Before making a reservation, please read the entire text below and make sure that you agree with its contents. Please obtain the permission of your guardian beforehand if you are underage (written proof is not required). Your status as a student will not be affected regardless of whether or not you are vaccinated. In addition, please do not discriminate against others based on their vaccination status. Those who wish to be vaccinated can choose to receive their inoculations either from Kobe University or their local government. However, you must receive your 1st and 2nd doses at the same venue.
Once the necessary number of vaccine doses have been determined, reservations will begin sometime during the following week.
