For children living in Chiyoda City from 6 months of age to the equivalent of the 3rd year of high school, the city fully subsidizes the cost of voluntary influenza vaccination. In addition to injected vaccines, the live nasal spray vaccine "FluMist" is also covered. However, FluMist is for ages 2 to 18, a different age range from the injected type (from 6 months).

In FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027), because the flu season started early, the start was moved up by 1 week, and the program runs from September 24, 2026 to January 31, 2027. The injected type is free for 2 doses up to age 12 and 1 dose from age 13; FluMist is free for 1 dose.

No individual notice is sent. Book directly with a medical institution designated by the city, fill in the pre-vaccination questionnaire available at the medical institution, and get vaccinated. If you are vaccinated in another city, you pay the full cost.

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.
