Taiwan CDC urges once-a-year COVID booster

With the pandemic subsiding, vaccine uptake has fallen off. In a new announcement, the Taiwan CDC wants everyone to get at least one BA.5 COVID booster this year. Let’s hear from the experts. Lee Chien-chang NTU Hospital professor of emergency medicine The Taiwan CDC wants to reset to zero, to administer one or two doses a year. This is actually the direction that’s being taken in countries all over the world. Hsueh Jui-yuan Health minister You don’t need to keep track of how many doses you had before. Start counting from this year – basically, you will get one dose this year, and if you are high risk, you will get two doses. If you haven’t had a booster yet, hurry up and get one. So it’s one dose per year. There will be no enforcement, because vaccine uptake is not mandatory. There are still 1 million vaccine doses remaining from Taiwan’s purchase last year. Fifteen million more doses are due to arrive this year, which means Taiwan will face a glut of vaccines. Health officials say they will formulate clear vaccine guidelines as soon as possible, to prevent the vaccines from being wasted.
