Kirk here with some information about how you can get on a waiting list to be vaccinated if someone cancels. The English information is here:

And the Japanese original is here:

The original information is from a publication put out by Kumamoto City called “Shisei Dayori” (市政だより). The International Center translates this publication into several languages, including English. They also make the original Japanese text available. The index is here:

https://www.kumamoto-if.or.jp/list00067.html

The index is mostly in Japanese but you can easily find the links with the words “Shisei Dayori.” Each link takes you to a collection of news on several different topics. I just chose one topic to introduce in this post. Please check for yourself to see what other information is available.

If you’re interested in this kind of information, you might want to bookmark the page. I found the interface to be a bit confusing. In fact, I wound up calling the International Center to get help, which they graciously provided.
