Taiwan is currently actively injecting new coronavirus vaccine . When will it be fully open? Chen Jianren, Taiwan's " academician of Academia Sinica", gave the answer. He said that the "Delta" virus is astonishingly contagious. If calculated according to laboratory data, the coverage rate of at least two doses should reach nearly 90%. However, according to actual overseas experience , the coverage rate of two doses should be about 70% to 75%, and you should not need to take a third dose.
According to statistics from Taiwan’s health and welfare department, as of October 19, the vaccine coverage rate on the island was 63.5% for the first dose and 22.74% for the second dose. There is still a long way to go before the second dose is 70% to 75%.
Many people are concerned about when Taiwan can completely lift the lockdown. Chen Jianren said that the "Delta" variant virus is currently prevalent in the world. According to previous laboratory R0 value calculations, the second dose coverage rate is about 80% to 88%. , to return to normal life, but according to actual overseas experience, it is enough to reach about 70% to 75%. In addition, there are currently oral drugs on the market, which makes the third dose less necessary.
Chen Jianren said that most experts believe that the third dose should be reserved for countries where current coverage is still low, or for high-risk groups.
