In an interview with people involved in the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, Kyodo News learned on the 24th that in addition to the Japanese athletes' delegation, the Covid-19 vaccine produced by Pfizer is expected to be provided free of charge to some volunteers, interpreters, referees and other Olympic-related personnel.

The specific targets will be further discussed depending on the level of contact with the participants. Pfizer estimates that approximately 20,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine will be provided, of which about 2,500 doses are expected to be required for the Japanese delegation.
