[ Global Network Report] According to reports from Taiwan media such as China Times News Network, Taiwan's self-produced "high-end" vaccine is not recognized internationally, and the vaccination situation is far less than expected. Taiwan's "Minister of Health and Welfare" Xue Ruiyuan confirmed at the "Legislative Yuan" Finance Committee today (6th) that the number of "high-end" vaccines destroyed and scrapped has reached 1.2 million doses due to expire. Next, the number of "high-end" vaccines has expired one after another. It is estimated that the number of "high-end" vaccines will be scrapped by 1.7 million doses.
reported that Xue Ruiyuan and Taiwan's audit department audit director Chen Ruimin and others went to the "Legislative Yuan" Finance Committee this morning to give a special report on the purchase, label, price, dose, administration and related budget implementation situations and benefits of new crown vaccine and cold chain."
Korean Party "legislator" Lin Defu said that a total of 5 million doses of "high-end" vaccines were purchased, with an amount of more than 4 billion yuan ( NT$ , the same below). Now 1.7 million doses are to be destroyed, which is equivalent to more than one-third of the scrapping ratio of the manufacturer. Calculated based on more than 800 yuan of "high-end" single-dose vaccine, more than 1 billion yuan of people's tax payments will be wasted.
Xue Ruiyuan declared that it is impossible to buy the vaccine after it is finished, and the new generation of vaccines is now hot, and it is still seller's market , and vaccines must be purchased in advance. If other brands of COVID-19 vaccines are added, Xue Ruiyuan said that a total of 4 million doses have been destroyed, of which more than 1.2 million doses of the "high-end" vaccine have been destroyed, accounting for nearly one-third.
"ETtoday News Cloud" reported that according to the audit department's report, 5 million doses of "high-end" vaccines have been purchased, and 4.48 million doses have been consumed, including 150,000 donations. Lin Defu questioned the scrapping status and amount of "high-end" vaccines. Xue Ruiyuan said that due to contract factors, the unit price of the vaccine cannot be disclosed, but according to the current information, 1.2 million doses have been scrapped, and the others have not expired and are valid until November.
