Line Creates Vaccination Appointment System


Line creates vaccination appointment system

Messaging app provider Line has created an online booking system for coronavirus vaccinations in Japan.

The company says two local governments have already agreed to use it and roughly 100 more are considering it.

The system enables anyone who has the free app to make an appointment for an inoculation.

They simply access the official Line account for a municipality and enter information such as their gender, age group and preferred vaccination date.

They will then receive a ticket number in the mail that they can use to complete the reservation on the app.

Line says the system will make the process easier for both users and municipal officials.
