To accelerate the administration of the third dose of the new coronavirus vaccine, Fukuoka City will allow people to receive the vaccine without an appointment at the Hakata Port Cruise Center starting Feb. 11. This was announced by Mayor Takashima at a press conference. IMPORTANT clarification: while appointments are not required, vouchers of eligibility ARE required. Vaccination hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Vaccines from the Moderna vaccine line will be used at the mass vaccination sites. We will post more details as they become available.
