Possibly Incorrect Info Regarding 2nd Self-Paid Dose

[mrblueblue]

Possible Issue

If you previously got your first dose through this program, you can schedule your second shot directly with your hospital.

I can't find any official reference to support this statement. Do you happen to have a citation for this?

According to the official CECC announcement on 5/15, it states:

後續視國內疫情狀況及疫苗進口數量，再行調撥疫苗，提供出國民眾自費接種使用

This seems to only indicate that, in the future, they will reconsider and possibly allocate doses to the self-paid program using two factors: (1) the state of the pandemic; and (2) the number of vaccine doses that are imported.

Possible Change

Perhaps a link to the official CECC announcement regarding this should be provided instead of asserting whether or not someone can book a second shot. Something like:

For more information, please refer to the official CECC announcement.

Hey, thanks for stopping by! Got a lot of questions about this one too. :) My source so far is my recollection of Chen Shih-Chung's press conference the day he cancelled the self-paid vaccination program. I am going to call 1922, the hotline to confirm this, and also see if I can find the press conference again.

@mrblueblue hey there! I took a look on the CDC transcripts on this timestamp of the video on May 15, 2021. This seems to be what I heard. If not, we can always call 1922 again to confirm.
