While living in the United States, have you ever felt anxious about things like, "Are vaccinations the same as in Japan?", "Where and which vaccines should I get?", or "Can I use my insurance?". The US and Japan differ not only in their healthcare systems but also in their recommended vaccinations and schedules. Therefore, for Japanese people living in the US, receiving the necessary vaccines at the right time and safely can sometimes feel difficult.

This webpage aims to provide Japanese residents in the United States with essential vaccine information in a clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand manner to help them protect their own health and the health of their families. We organize and present information on vaccines tailored to different age groups and life stages, including vaccinations adults should receive to prevent severe illness and vaccines for seniors to prepare for future risks. We also include practical information and important points from the perspective of living in the U.S., such as "Where can I get vaccinated in the U.S.?" and "Are the costs covered by insurance?". Vaccines are important not only for protecting your own health but also for protecting your family and community. By knowing the correct information and receiving necessary vaccinations, you can protect yourself from preventable diseases. We hope this guide will be helpful in ensuring the safety and health of those living in the United States.
