[ Global Network report] According to Taiwan's United Daily News on the 20th, Japan opens free travel for tourists who receive internationally certified vaccines, but Taiwan's own "high-end" vaccine is not on the certification list. Wang Bisheng, commander of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, announced on the 19th that those who need to go abroad for "high-end" vaccines can receive 1 to 3 doses of other vaccines. In response, Wang Renxian, honorary chairman of the Taiwan Epidemic Prevention Society, said that this move is equivalent to declaring that "high-end vaccines are invalid", and slapped the face in the face of issuing an emergency user license (EUA) to the "high-end" epidemic command center. For those who have received three doses of "high-end" doses, they have to receive three more doses of other vaccines. Some netizens said, "Do you get 6 doses! How can the world keep up with Taiwan!"
reported that Wang Bisheng announced a vaccine rebate plan on the 19th, saying that if those who received "high-end" have a need to go abroad, they can issue electronic tickets, schooling or work certificates and other supporting documents, and can receive 1 to 3 doses of other approved and imported vaccines.
According to statistics from the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, about 1 million people in Taiwan received the first dose of "high-end" vaccine, and about 300,000 people were vaccinated with "high-end" vaccines in all three doses, and it is estimated that between 300,000 and 1 million people needed to get the supplementary dose.
If a person who receives 3 doses of "high-end" vaccines get 3 doses of other brands of vaccines, it is equivalent to receiving 6 doses of vaccines, and the outside world is worried about safety. Wang Bisheng claimed that the relevant units had discussed this issue and had no doubts.
Wang Renxian said, "At present, the medical community believes that each new crown vaccine can be added to each other, so it is theoretically impossible to receive 6 doses at intervals." However, this new system of the epidemic command center represents that the DPP authorities have "made regulatory mistakes", which is equivalent to not recognizing "high-end" vaccines, and EUA should not be issued at the beginning.
Taiwan Zhongshi News Network reported that Su Yifeng, a thoracic physician at Taipei City United Hospital, said that the cost of 3 doses of "high-end" vaccines is about 3,000 NT$ NT$ . The DPP authorities also have to cure the "high-end" aftermath, which is all taxpayers' money. "Why spend so much money and resources to deal with the "high-end" vaccine aftermath?"
Taiwan TVBS News Network reported that if you want to go to Japan, people who have previously received 3 doses of "high-end" vaccines must receive 3 other doses of other vaccines, which will take at least 16 weeks, which is equivalent to getting 6 doses of vaccines. This incident has also caused discussion among some netizens on the island. Some people say that "high-end" is "vaccine-like" and "vaccine-like".
Someone else said in the comment section of the Taiwanese media: "Doesn't people who praise 'high-end' need to come out to apologize? Tsai Ing-wen, Chen Jian-ren, Chen Shi-chung...a bunch of green camp 'legislators'."
Some netizens also questioned, "I just realized that it is invalid now?"
Some netizens also mocked, "Please 6 doses! How can the world keep up with Taiwan!" "Japan is really unkind, the DPP licks you like a dog, but in the end, he fires a gun and refuses to admit that 'high-end' is a vaccine."
