Hello.

My name is Mizusawa and I work as an infrastructure engineer in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture.

It's been a year and a half since I've been in this area. . .

I've rarely been to anything other than my home, office, 7-Eleven, and supermarket, all of which are within walking distance, and I'm currently thinking about how I need to rethink how I spend my time over the New Year holidays.

However, the other day, I received a surprise gift from the pizza shop that I have been working with for about a year, and I was able to spend some very memorable times there. Thank you!

In 2022. . . I would like to go on a hot spring tour in the Shikoku region. Can you relax like a monkey? !

Now, it was August 2021, when the number of new coronavirus infections per day had peaked at about 5,700 people, and people were in a state of fear. On the border,

Since October, the number of cases has remained at about a few dozen people, and I believe that this is in no small part due to the fact that the movement of people is gradually returning.

In addition, in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, vaccination will be available from September to November 2021, and thankfully I was able to get my second dose in September.

Therefore, this time, would like to share how I registered the ``New Coronavirus Vaccination Certificate App'' in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, which began operation on ``December 20, 2021''

The actual registration process was extremely easy, taking about 5 minutes to complete.

So, if you have not registered yet, please use this as a reference.

Well then, let's go.

summary

How was it?。

I guess it was easier than I expected.

In particular, I think it will be an indispensable app for people who have the opportunity to travel overseas, including those in engineering positions.

In fact, our company, Beyond, has also started business trips to our Canadian office for engineers from November 2021.

I also got the impression that the system linked to the My Number Card was attracting attention this time.

Personally, I will be paying attention to measures that will improve the convenience of My Number cards, including the integration of My Number cards and driver's licenses, which is scheduled for the end of 2024.

See you next year.

Happy new year!
