[Global Network Comprehensive Report Reporter Zhao Youping] In addition to the United States, Japan does not recognize Taiwan's own new crown vaccine . According to Taiwan's China Times News Network on the 24th, Japan announced that it would open entry for free travelers from October 11, but it is required to receive three doses of the new crown vaccine, otherwise it is necessary to provide a negative nucleic acid certificate within 72 hours before entry. Since the "high-end vaccine" of the self-produced new crown vaccine in Taiwan is not on the Japanese recognized list, if the 985,000 people on the island who need to go to Japan, they will have to pay 3,500 to 4,500 yuan ( New Taiwan Dollar ) for nucleic acid. A year ago, the "high-end vaccine" was not included in the list of brands recognized by the US.
According to China Times News Network, Japan's recognized vaccine brands include AstraZeneca (AZ), Moderna, Pfizer /BNT, Novavax, Johnson & Johnson , and Indian inactivated vaccine Covaxin, which does not contain "high-end vaccines" in Taiwan. According to statistics from the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, 985,000 people in Taiwan have received two doses of "high-end vaccine", including many people who received three consecutive doses of vaccination. If you need to go to Japan, you must pay in advance for nucleic acid test in Taiwan and obtain a report.
reported that in fact, it is not the first time that Taiwanese people are blocked from going out with "high-end vaccines". The United States announced in September last year that all foreign adult travelers must present a complete vaccination certificate from November, and Taiwan’s “high-end vaccine” has not been included in the list of brands recognized by the United States. Chen Shi-chung, the then-Taiwanese "Health and Welfare Minister" Chen Shi-chung made a shocking statement at the time, claiming that "the world is not the only one in the United States."
In response to this, Kuomintang "legislator" Lai Shibao posted on Facebook on September 23 that after a year, not only the United States, but also Japan, have no longer recognized "high-end vaccines". He questioned Chen Shizhong's so-called "advanced deployment" is simply "running ahead." For the "high-end vaccine" to go to Japan, the Kuomintang Taipei Mayor candidate Jiang Wanan also criticized that former "Health and Welfare Minister" Chen Shizhong should bear considerable responsibility for this.
