2. About vaccination

We provide vaccination consultations and hospital information.

The concept of vaccination has two meanings. One is to prevent the vaccinated person from contracting the disease, and to prevent the disease from becoming serious even if it does occur. The second is to prevent the spread of the disease to the population by having many people vaccinated.

Prevention of infectious diseases

Major infectious diseases that tend to spread among students who live in groups include measles, rubella, mumps, and chickenpox. These diseases have epidemic periods, and those who have not been vaccinated or have never been infected may become infected due to lack of immunity. At our university, in accordance with the guidance of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, we recommend vaccinations for those who have no memory of having the above diseases.

For those considering studying abroad

Depending on the type of vaccination, it may take some time for antibodies to develop after vaccination. In addition, when performing multiple vaccinations, as a general rule, you must put a certain interval. If you need vaccinations for study abroad or Practicum, we recommend that you plan your schedule early and get vaccinated systematically.
 
In addition to infectious diseases, the following website provides information to be aware of when traveling abroad.
Please be especially careful and prepare adequately when traveling.

3.In case of infection at school

If a child is diagnosed with a ``school infectious disease'' as stipulated in the School Health and Safety Act, attendance will be suspended to prevent the spread of infection. Until your doctor determines that you are able to return to school, please do not attend university and recuperate at home until you have recovered.

5. Health management

It is said that the basics of health are largely cultivated during student days. It's important to think about a healthy lifestyle during this important time.

Prepare your first aid kit

If you live alone, it is a good idea to prepare a first aid kit in advance so that you can deal with sudden injuries or illnesses yourself.
In the first aid kit, in addition to oral medicines such as general cold medicine (cold medicine), gastrointestinal medicine, intestinal medicine, antipyretic analgesics, etc., there is also a thermometer, tweezers, nail clippers, anti-itch medicine, bandages, poultices, gauze, disinfectants, etc. Let's put it in. Please add whatever else you need to suit your physical condition and lifestyle.

Carry your health insurance card with you

If you do not have your insurance card when visiting a hospital, you will incur high costs.
If you are not issued one card-type insurance card per person, please obtain a remote dependent identification card. There are many cases where people suffer from sudden illness because they do not have a health insurance card. In particular, please make it a habit to always carry your health insurance card with you when traveling, training camps, and expeditions.
For more information, please refer to the link below <Insurance card (remote area dependent card)>.

6. Alcohol and smoking are prohibited for those under 20 years of age

It is said that it usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour for a person to feel intoxicated after drinking alcohol. If you drink more than you can tolerate before you become intoxicated, such as binge drinking, you may suddenly fall into a coma and even die when the alcohol reaches your brain. (acute alcohol poisoning)

Consuming large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time is dangerous. Never do this!
Some people start smoking casually. Once smoking becomes a habit, it becomes difficult to stop smoking due to nicotine dependence and psychological dependence. Quitting smoking is difficult, but anyone can avoid smoking in the first place. Don't give up on cigarettes easily!
Let's consider the risks of smoking and the importance of quitting smoking.
