Just a heads up, this rate seems to be low since they are behind on vaccinations and low on supply, not because the Japanese don't want them. They do have some vaccine hesitancy due to problems they had in the past with another vaccine, but be careful with sharing this as it's a bit misleading.
I just wanted to make a point that making this argument to someone without fully vetting the info weakens the argument, since the reasons for the 8% shot rate are low in Japan is not because the Japanese are refusing it.

Hey, shills, we post from your own media sites to make fun of you ... you do realize that, right?
Hey, not a shill. I'm an anon who knows stuff about Japan. Unfortunately they tend to conform like lemmings.
Here's a Japanese source that claims that over 60% want the shot: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/03/17/national/vaccine-poll-results/
Here's another newer source saying that 11% do not want it, with a higher percentage of people waiting a bit longer: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/07/05/national/vaccine-hesitancy-japan/

Japanese are definitely herd animals.
