Akane Memorial Clinic
About
Akane Kinen Clinic, located in Oshima, Koto-ku, Tokyo, is a medical facility specializing in internal medicine. The clinic operates on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, remaining closed on weekends, holidays, and during the New Year and Obon periods. In addition to general internal medicine services, the clinic places strong emphasis on preventive healthcare, particularly offering comprehensive vaccination services. Regarding HPV vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) for cervical cancer prevention, three types of vaccines became eligible for public subsidy from April 2023, primarily targeting children from 6th grade through the first year of high school. The clinic also offers two types of shingles vaccines—Biken and Shingrix—which differ in cost and duration of effectiveness, allowing patients to choose based on their circumstances and preferences. The risk of shingles increases with declining immunity due to aging, stress, or fatigue, with particular caution advised for those aged 50 and above. The clinic recommends early vaccination to supplement immunity against viruses that declines with age. The facility features barrier-free design and includes parking, creating an accessible environment for various patients to visit.
