The new coronary pneumonia vaccine is actively vaccinated, but the supply is insufficient. The existing AZ vaccine and Moderna vaccines on the island are about to be sold out, and it is unlikely that the next round of registrations will be able to provide the first dose. As the AZ vaccine is about to bottom out, Zhuang Renxiang, spokesperson of the Taiwan authorities' epidemiological command center, said that the fifth round of vaccination will be mainly Moderna vaccine, providing a second dose, with only 689,000 doses left in Taiwan, and the probability of those who want to get the first dose is extremely low.
Commander Chen Shizhong admitted that the number of Moderna on hand is relatively small, the Taiwan authorities only have 560,000 doses left, and there are still some doses in the local area, and the second dose will be given priority. According to statistics, there are still 1.92 million elderly people (ages 65 to 74) waiting in line to get the second dose. If the goods cannot arrive in time before September 1, it may be difficult to connect.
Chen Shizhong reminds that if the first to third types of subjects and pregnant women receive the Moderna vaccine for the first dose, if the interval is more than 28 days before August 11, you must complete your willingness registration before 12 noon on August 3 before you can get the second dose as scheduled.
As of 5:00 p.m. on August 1, the total number of people who have completed their willingness registration online was 11.88 million, and more than 6 million (51%) chose AZ or Moderna. There were 4.05 million (34%) who chose Moderna single, because there were not many left in Moderna's vaccine, and it was difficult to provide the first dose.
As for the AZ vaccine, the daily vaccination volume exceeds 200,000 doses, and the supply is in short supply. As of July 31, there were 730,000 doses left, and the other 582,000 doses are still under seal inspection. The command center estimates that after the fourth round of vaccination, there are only 160,000 doses left, but there are as many as 1.02 million elderly people over 75 years old waiting for the second dose of AZ.
If the vaccine fails to arrive as scheduled, will it affect the schedule of the second dose? Zhuang Renxiang did not respond positively and only provided the distribution schedule of the existing AZ vaccine. Currently, there are 575,000 doses of AZ vaccines that have been tested and sealed, which can keep the fourth round until August 3. In addition, I purchased 580,000 AZ vaccine myself, and Lithuania gave 20,000 doses of vaccine, totaling 600,000 doses. After the inspection is sealed, it is expected to be available for vaccination from August 4th to 6th.
Many local governments plan to help elders who do not know how to access the Internet to create a book so that they can get a second dose. Chen Shizhong said that he still prefers a single operation platform and does not include additional listings. It is recommended that neighborhood chief assist the elderly to register on the platform. In the future, "batch uploads" will be adopted to assist vaccination recipients such as not being able to access the Internet, campus or institution, and upload the entire batch of data at one time.
