As of 3pm today, there are still about 18000 reservation slots available at the Tokyo mass vaccination center. To that end, the scheduled start of accepting reservations from those 65 and older living in Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, will be moved up from May 31st to tomorrow at 11am.
Perhaps the baba and jiji in Odawara, Kumagaya, and Katsuura are chomping at the bit to take a 90 minute train ride to get vaccinated, and will fill the spots that those in Tokyo apparently don't want.
I was just reading up on the doom cycles and came across this cluster at Changi

It did occur to me that inbound wise people would be wary and also stagger entries over the coming months. Outbound having to depart within 2 days of completion of their event, possibly with no test required to re-enter their home country and tested on a "best available" basis also presents a risk of transmission to the community. Airport workers really should get some vaccination priority, too. People probably have plenty of luggage so there will be queues there. I'm not sure how they would confine athletes once airside and keep them from the opened duty free & communal food areas like they will attempt to keep them from exiting the village. Possibly better to close most those places if they can't get priority vaccination and install more vending machines which take international credit cards for snacks, drinks, and souvenir kit kats.
