RSV vaccination for pregnant women fully covered

From April 1, 2026, RSV vaccination for pregnant women (maternal immunization vaccine) became a routine vaccination. It is free for Toshima City residents. However, vaccinations outside the eligible period, or at medical institutions outside the 23 wards, are fully paid by you (if you want to be vaccinated outside the 23 wards, for example when giving birth in your hometown, you need to complete procedures in advance). Vaccinations on or before March 31, 2026 were voluntary and fully paid by you.

Eligible women are those from 28 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 6 days of pregnancy, and the vaccine used is the recombinant RSV vaccine (Abrysvo). The pre-vaccination questionnaire is sent to your registered address and arrives early in the month before the month you reach 28 weeks of pregnancy. You can be vaccinated at participating medical institutions in the 23 wards.
