All are out-of-pocket amounts after the subsidy
The city subsidizes the cost of flu vaccination for children aged 18 and under. It is available at designated medical institutions in the city from October 15, 2026 to January 30, 2027. The out-of-pocket cost for injections is ¥500 per shot (2 shots) from 6 months old to under 13, and ¥1,500 (1 shot) from 13 to the equivalent of the third year of high school. From age 2 to under 13, instead of injections you can also choose the nasal vaccine for ¥4,000 out of pocket (only one type). It is free for people receiving public assistance and for households eligible for the city's medical expense subsidy for single-parent households.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Akishima City residents from 6 months old to the equivalent of the third year of high school (nasal vaccine for age 2 to under 13)
Notes
The city states the out-of-pocket amount rather than the subsidy amount. Outside the period or at institutions other than designated ones, you pay the full cost with no refund.
