If you receive the RSV vaccine during pregnancy, antibodies made in your body pass to the baby through the placenta and are expected to protect the baby from the disease from birth. From April 1, 2026, this vaccine became a national routine vaccination, and in Chuo City you can receive it free of charge.
It covers pregnant women from 28 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 6 days of pregnancy, once per pregnancy. The vaccine used is Abrysvo (Pfizer). People who submitted a pregnancy notification to Chuo City on or after April 1, 2026 are sent a pre-vaccination questionnaire within 1 month of the notification. People who moved to Chuo City during pregnancy are given the questionnaire when they submit the pregnancy notification.
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
Pregnant women from 28 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 6 days of pregnancy (due date on or after April 23, 2026)
Notes
The period in which you can receive it free is written on the questionnaire. If you go past the period or are vaccinated at a medical institution not on the list, you pay the full cost.At medical institutions in Tokyo's 23 wards that carry out routine vaccinations, you can be vaccinated with the Chuo City questionnaire.If you want to be vaccinated outside the 23 wards, you must get a "request for routine vaccination" from Chuo City before vaccination; it takes about 10 business days to be issued.People who received this vaccine in a previous pregnancy are also covered. People who have already received it during the current pregnancy are not.If you plan to give birth by 38 weeks 6 days of pregnancy, you are advised to consult your doctor, because the effect on babies born within 14 days after vaccination has not been confirmed.If you move or lose the questionnaire, you can get a new one by online application or at the counter of the public health center or health center.
