This report focuses on the infectivity and immune escape risk of the currently circulating mutant strain LP.8.1, the declining vaccination rate due to the introduction of co-payments, the current situation where mRNA vaccines are the only option, and the inadequacy of information provision systems in medical settings. Based on the actual situation and data both domestically and internationally, it recommends the need to establish a system that allows people to be vaccinated with peace of mind.
