Taipei Distributes 6,000 Vaccine Doses as COVID-19 Cases Rise

Taipei City's Department of Health is bolstering its COVID-19 vaccine supply, allocating an additional 6,000 doses to address a recent surge in infections and heightened public interest in vaccination. The new batch of vaccines is scheduled to arrive on July 27th and 28th.

These vaccines will be urgently distributed to contracted medical institutions and the 12 district-based outpatient departments of Taipei City Hospital. This move aims to ensure a stable and accessible vaccination channel for residents. The department has prioritized securing these doses after assessing the needs of various medical facilities.

To facilitate smooth vaccination processes, citizens can utilize online registration systems or make phone reservations through the district outpatient departments. The national COVID-19 vaccination service has been extended until September 28th, with ample vaccine supply available. The Department of Health assures the public that they will continue to request further allocations based on vaccination rates.

Authorities are reminding the public not to engage in panic buying and to utilize the available appointment channels, particularly the district outpatient departments, to enhance personal protection against the virus.
