Hello.

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

It's already been a year and a half since I started living in this area..

I've hardly ever gone anywhere other than my home, office, 7-Eleven, and supermarket, all within walking distance, and I'm finding myself seriously regretting that I need to rethink how I use my time over the New Year holidays

That being said, I also had a very memorable time the other day, when I received a surprise gift from a pizza place that I've been using for about a year now. Thank you!

As for 2022... I'd like to try visiting hot springs in the Shikoku region. I wonder if I'll be able to relax like a monkey?!

Well, it was only after August 2021, when the number of COVID-19 infections per day peaked at about 5,700 and we were living in fear, that I naturally began to turn my attention to such an outward perspective

Since October, the number of cases has remained at around a few dozen, and I believe this is at least partly due to the fact that people are gradually moving back

In Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, the vaccine will be available for administration from September to November 2021, and thankfully I was able to receive my second dose in September

So, this time would like to share with you how I registered for the ``COVID-19 Vaccine Vaccination Certificate App'', which began operation on December 20, 2021, in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture

The actual registration process was incredibly easy, taking just about five minutes to complete

So, if you haven't registered yet, I hope you'll find this useful

Well then, let's go.

summary

How was it?。

Wasn't it easier than you thought?

I think this will be an essential app, especially for people who have the opportunity to travel abroad, including engineers

In fact, our company, Beyond, has started sending engineers on business trips to our Canadian office since November 2021

I also got the impression that attention was focused on the system linked to the My Number Card

Personally, I will be keeping an eye on measures that will improve the convenience of My Number cards, including the planned integration of My Number cards and driver's licenses at the end of fiscal year 2024

Well, see you again next year

Happy New Year
