The Central Epidemic Command Center says that Taiwan is working to purchase 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine, and that vaccinations could begin as soon as March.
Taiwan has ordered over 4.7 million doses from COVAX and an additional 10 million from AstraZeneca. Health authorities are also in talks with a third vaccine maker, as well as with a number of companies with vaccines that are already in third-stage clinical trials.
The Central Epidemic Command Center has also announced that Taiwan recorded two new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, both of them imported. These new cases bring the total number of COVID-19 cases Taiwan has recorded so far up to 797.
