OK, just quietly posting this. If Misato-town isn’t too far away for you, and you’d like to try to get vaccinated more quickly, please check this page out: https://www.town.kumamoto-misato.lg.jp/q/aview/91/8375.html By the way, if anyone discovers any clinics in Kumamoto City that are setting up cancellation waiting lists like this, PLEASE post the info here!
Here’s another tip: a friend has told me that it may be faster to book the first vaccine shot if you book it at one of the mass vaccination sites rather than a clinic.
UPDATE: The latter is true! Just booked an appointment less than two weeks away at the Kumamoto-jo Hall!
