- Out-of-pocket cost for the MR vaccine ¥5,000
- Single-antigen measles vaccine ¥3,500
Because babies under 1 cannot receive the routine measles-rubella (MR) vaccination, city residents aged 19 and over living with a baby under 1 can have a free measles antibody test. If antibodies are low, the city subsidizes the vaccination; the out-of-pocket cost is ¥5,000 for the MR vaccine and ¥3,500 for the measles-only vaccine. Book and receive it at a designated medical institution in the city. Pregnant women cannot be vaccinated.
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
Tachikawa City residents aged 19 and over living with a baby under 1 (excluding people who have already received 2 or more doses of a measles-containing vaccine and similar)
Notes
Vaccination costs are waived for households on public assistance and similar. No subsidy or refund at institutions other than designated ones in the city.
