¥3,000 per dose, up to 2 doses, for the voluntary mumps vaccination

For the mumps (epidemic parotitis) vaccination, which is not a routine vaccination, the city subsidizes ¥3,000 per dose, up to 2 doses. The program started on July 1, 2024, and vaccinations before that are fully self-paid. It covers people from age 1 to before elementary school who are registered as residents of Setagaya City on the vaccination date. The Japan Pediatric Society recommends 2 doses, at age 1 and before elementary school (age 5 to under 7). You do not need to apply to the city. Subsidy tickets are at designated medical institutions in the city, so book and visit, bringing something that confirms your address and date of birth (Maternal and Child Health Handbook, My Number Card, infant medical certificate, etc.) and the Maternal and Child Health Handbook to check vaccination history. At the counter, pay the difference between the vaccination cost set by the medical institution and the subsidy. Vaccination costs differ by medical institution, so check in advance.
