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.

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 My Number Health Insurance Card with you.

If you don't have your health insurance card when you visit a hospital, you will incur high costs.
There are many cases where people are inconvenienced in the event of a sudden illness because they do not have their My Number Health Insurance Card with them. In particular, please make it a habit to always carry your My Number Health Insurance Card with you when traveling, attending training camps, or going on away trips.

Even if your My Number Health Insurance card is not yet registered, you can still receive insured medical treatment by bringing your "Eligibility Verification Certificate" to a medical institution.

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

★STOP! Drinking alcohol is prohibited by law for those under 20 years of age.
Although the legal age of majority under civil law was lowered to 18 in April 2022, the legal drinking age remains 20 or older.
In particular, starting to drink alcohol before the age of 20, when the brain is still developing, can easily lead to a decline in brain function, such as decreased learning ability, concentration, and memory, as well as damage to organs including the liver.
Normally, it takes 30 minutes to an hour for the effects of alcohol to appear after drinking. However, if you consume more than your tolerance level before you can feel the effects, such as by binge drinking, the alcohol can reach your brain and suddenly cause you to fall into a coma, which can be fatal. (Acute alcohol poisoning)
Individuals under the age of 20, who are still in their growth stage, are said to be more susceptible to acute alcohol poisoning because their alcohol-degrading enzymes are weaker.
Consuming large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time is dangerous. You should absolutely avoid it.
If someone is intoxicated and dies at a drinking party or similar event, the person who provided the alcohol may be held liable. To avoid situations where someone's future or your own bright future is ruined for the sake of temporary enjoyment, please drink responsibly even after turning 20.

★STOP! Smoking is prohibited by law for those under 20 years of age.
Some people start smoking casually, but once smoking becomes a habit, it becomes difficult to quit due to nicotine and psychological dependence. It is known that the younger the age at which smoking begins, the stronger the nicotine dependence becomes. For this reason, even though the age of majority has been lowered to 18, the legal age for smoking remains 20. Quitting smoking is difficult, The first oneDon't smoke That is important.
At the university, in 2029 The entire campus is non-smoking. We are working towards this goal by implementing a smoking cessation promotion plan.
If you already smoke, consider the risks associated with smoking and the importance of quitting.
Health Services Office also offers smoking cessation counseling. Please feel free to consult with us.
