As Japan gears up for a COVID-19 vaccination drive, a cartoon dog chatbot is doing its bit to reassure a vaccine-skeptical population and answer any questions they might have.

隨著日本準備施打武漢肺炎疫苗，一個以漫畫狗為造型的聊天機器人，也將盡一份自己的心力，讓對疫苗心有疑慮的民眾安心，以及解答民眾的任何問題。

The dog, a Shiba-inu known as Corowa-kun － from the Japanese words for "coronavirus" and "vaccine" － wears a white doctor’s coat and the app named for him gives automated answers to medical questions.

這隻名叫「Corowa君」—此名稱由日文的「新冠病毒」與「疫苗」組成—的柴犬身穿醫師白袍，以他命名的app會對醫療問題提供自動化回覆。

Trust in vaccines in Japan is among the lowest in the world, a study by the Lancet medical journal showed. Only half the population want to take a COVID-19 vaccine, a poll by national broadcaster NHK found last month.（REUTERS）

醫學期刊《刺胳針》的一項研究顯示，日本對疫苗的信賴排名全球後段班；日本放送協會上月的一份調查發現，只有半數民眾想打武漢肺炎疫苗。（路透）
