Hi TS, what is the status of vax uptake/mandates in Japan? I have two close friends there (one Japanese, one American longtime resident) and both begrudgingly got jabbed ... mostly due to work pressure and social pressure (the American is in management in a small/medium size company whereas the Japanese friend runs his own small company and said he got tired of people asking). Each friend seemed disappointed in their own decision (one in email expressly said this, the other I could hear in his voice that he just "got tired of people asking"). Last question - is ivermectin readily available in Japan? *btw, I'm a Japanese "lifer" myself - 15 yrs on the ground there, then back and forth from US to Japan the past 10 yrs (well minus the 2 covid years where I've been stationary in the US). Thanks for any on the ground info you can provide.
