Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not there are cases in which it is difficult to confirm the will of persons with dementia or other such conditions，and to investigate measures to prevent disadvantage to persons who cannot confirm their will when they are vaccinated against COVID-19. Methods: The 610 facilities located in the prefectural capitals of six prefectures in the Tohoku region were included in the survey. Results: The difficulty of obtaining consent from individuals has created difficulties in institutions. As a result， there are people who could not be vaccinated. Conclusion: Based on the difficulties encountered in obtaining consent at each facility，we believe that more thoughtful measures should be taken at the time of vaccination. A legislative solution should also be considered for a more drastic solution.
