Taiwan has started to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but only 17,000 people have completed the AZ vaccine so far. Currently, Mazu has not yet been vaccinated. The "Epidemic Command Center" in Taiwan has expanded the scope of vaccine administration from now on. All first-class medical personnel can be vaccinated, and it is estimated that 420,000 people in Taiwan can be administered.
Taiwan Chang Gung University Department of Information Engineering, Linkou Chang Gung Hospital Department of Cerebrovascular Department of Neurology Department, said that according to an overseas data analysis, Taiwan's current vaccination rate ranking in the world, as of March 27, is indeed very worrying. Because there are doubts about the number of vaccines and vaccination intentions, there may be some time to go to Taiwan to fully open its borders.
Huang Chongyuan believes that Taiwan faces some problems in subsequent vaccine procurement, and it is recommended that the "government" should say the schedule more transparently and accurately so that the people can feel at ease and peace of mind. In addition, he also called on the "government" to expand the number of people who encourage vaccination, so that Taiwan's vaccination rate can be increased and its protection can be increased. Otherwise, Taiwan's vaccination rate will grow slowly, which will also have an impact on the island's economy.
Taiwan obtained the second batch of AZ vaccines from international platforms, a total of 199,200 doses, and arrived in Taiwan on April 4. Currently, the inspection is accelerated and the trial is closed, striving to start next Monday on April 12 as soon as possible. However, according to Taiwanese media reports, the validity period of this batch of vaccines is only May 31, which expires 15 days earlier than the first batch on June 15. Under the pressure of having to finish the dose as quickly as possible, 8 weeks must be separated by the two doses. Taiwanese expert Li Bingying even pointed out that he should be mentally prepared to be unable to finish the vaccine, and he also suggested that he could open the use of his own expenses.
Huang Gaobin, deputy director of the Affiliated Medicine of Taiwan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that it should be opened as soon as possible and those who are willing should come and fight, otherwise the time will come, and I will have to wait for the extension at present. Former "Disease Control Director" Su Yiren also said that Taiwan must not wait until the time has come before rushing to fight. It must look far and be prepared. The scope of vaccine administration will be expanded from now on, and all first-class medical personnel can be vaccinated. Zhuang Renxiang, spokesperson of the "Command Center", estimated that Mazu is expected to start a successful battle after expanding the scope. There are not many medical staff who meet the first and second-line qualifications of Mazu, and each outer island must be concentrated in the same hospital for vaccination, so there has not been a shot yet. It is estimated that the first shot will be given after the expanded dose is given.
Zhuang Renxiang said that yesterday was a continuous vacation and no one received the AZ vaccine, so the cumulative number of people who were vaccinated is still at 17,078, and the adverse events notification remained at 64, including 8 reports of serious adverse events.
Since overseas students have been confirmed in the past two days, does the outside world worry about whether it means that the international epidemic is heating up? Zhuang Renxiang explained that the recent confirmed cases are still largely because there are many migrant workers, and the proportion of overseas students is relatively small, which does not mean that the international epidemic has a sharp rise.
