学内・学会事務請負、翻訳・通訳、デザイン、Web、招聘、国際シンポジウム運営、学術渡航

内閣官房副長官補室は、新型コロナウイルスのワクチン接種証明書発行手続きについて、2021年6月25日に第1回の自治体向け説明会を実施しました。接種証明書とは、予防接種法に基づいて市区町村で実施されたワクチンの接種記録などを接種者からの申請に基づいて交付するもので、個人の接種記録を管理する市区町村が発行主体となります。当面は、諸外国にワクチン接種証明書の提示を求められた場合に提示するものとしての利用を想定し、国内については、証明書がなくても、接種済証で接種の事実を確認することは可能としています。紙による申請と交付を7月中旬を目処に開始予定。今後、2次元コードの発行およびデジタル証明書アプリとの連携を並行して検討していきます。現時点では、具体的なデジタルアプリについての説明はありません。申請に必要な書類は、申請書，旅券，接種券，接種済証か接種記録書。申請書以外については、郵送の場合、写しを郵送します。当面の間、申請者への手数料は求めず、発行にかかる事務費は国費でまかないます。ワクチン接種証明書には、パスポート情報に加えて、接種したワクチンの種類，メーカー，製品名，製造番号，接種日，接種国などが日本語と英語で併記されます。市区町村は、申請書を窓口あるいは郵送で受理し(将来的には電子申請を目指す)、ワクチン接種記録システム(VRS)を使用して審査・入力したのち、窓口あるいは郵送で交付します。政府は、証明書発行にあたって、接種を受けない人への不当な差別につながらないように周知などに努めていくとしています。今後、7月9日に第2回説明会が実施され、詳細な事務手続きが案内される予定です。
＜経団連、ワクチンパスポートの有効活用を政府に提言＞
日本経済団体連合会(経団連)は6月24日、ワクチン接種記録(ワクチンパスポート)の早期活用を求める要望書を政府に提出しました。そのなかで、政府に対して、社会経済活動の正常化に向けた出口戦略を打ち出す必要性のほか、コモンパスなどを念頭に出入国に必要なデータやシステムに関する国際標準化の推進を求めています。また、諸外国の出入国でだけでなく、ワクチン接種者の需要喚起を促し、自粛などによって委縮した地域経済や各業界の活性化を進める観点から、国内での活用も提言。国内移動や旅行ツアー，イベントの人数制限の緩和などでの活用を示したほか、普及に向けて各種割引や特典の付与も検討すべきとの考えを示しました。

[ Vaccination Certificate Application and Issuance will Start in mid-July, Considering Link with Digital Certificate as well ]

The Office of the Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary held the first briefing session for local governments on June 25, 2021 on the procedures for issuing vaccination certificates for the new coronavirus. Vaccination certificates are issued based on applications from vaccine recipients of vaccination records, etc. conducted by municipalities based on the Vaccination Law, and are issued by the municipalities that manage individual vaccination records. For the time being, it is assumed that the vaccination certificate will be used as a document to be presented to foreign countries when asked to present it, and that it is possible to confirm the fact of vaccination in Japan with the proof mentioned in which vaccination has been completed even without the certificate. Paper-based application and issuance of vaccination certificate is scheduled to start by mid-July. In the future, issuing 2-D codes and linking them with digital certificate applications will be considered in parallel. At this time, there is no description of the specific digital application. Documents required for application are: application form, passport, vaccination ticket, and proof of vaccination or record of vaccination. For documents other than the application form, their copies should be submitted if an application is made by mail. For the time being, no fee will be charged to the applicant, and the administrative costs of issuing the certificate will be covered by government funds. In addition to passport information, the vaccination certificate will include the type of vaccine, manufacturer, product name, serial number, date of vaccination, and country of vaccination in both English and Japanese. The municipality receives the application form at the counter or by mail (aiming for electronic application in the future), reviews and enters the information using the Vaccination Record System (VRS), and then issues the vaccination certificate at the counter or by mail. In issuing the certificate, the government says it will make every effort to inform the public so that it does not lead to unfair discrimination against those who do not receive the vaccination. The second briefing session will be held on July 9, and detailed administrative procedures will be explained.

< Keidanren Proposes Effective Use of Vaccine Passports to Government>
On June 24, the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren) submitted a request to the government for the early use of vaccination records (vaccine passport). The report calls for the government to come up with an exit strategy to normalize socioeconomic activities, and to promote international standardization of data and systems necessary for entry and exit, with an eye to the common path. They also suggested that the vaccination records (vaccine passport) be used not only for entry into and exit from foreign countries, but also for domestic use from the perspective of stimulating demand for vaccinated persons and revitalizing local economies and industries that have become depressed due to self-restraint. They indicated that it could be used for domestic transportation, travel tours, and easing of restrictions on the number of people at events, and that various discounts and benefits should be considered for widespread use.
