Furthermore, to ensure the vaccination rights of 12 to 17 years old teens, the BNT vaccine available during the current round will be reserved for the aforementioned recipients for shots including: primary series shot 1, primary series shot 2, and booster shot 1. Bookings for BNT vaccine may open up to other groups depending on actual inventory and supply volumes.
 
In addition, partner hospitals across the city have roughly 20,000 slots available for vaccine outpatient clinic reservation. For details, please check Taipei City’s Vaccine Information Website in Chinese (https://reurl.cc/o1Y8Vv).
 
The first batch of BNT vaccine for children and teens will be administered at Taipei City Hospital Women’s and Children’s Branch, Yangming Branch, Taipei Stadium Vaccination Site, and McKay Hospital starting August 27. Eligible individuals can reserve a slot via the 26th round of vaccine booking system.
 
The Department of Health pointed out that research indicates the chances of children with COVID-19 developing MIS-C (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children) is lowered by 90% for those who are fully vaccinated. With the increase of domestic BA.4 and BA.5 infections, families with kids older than 6 months are encouraged to have them vaccinated before the autumn and winter season.
 
The agency also reminded those under the age of 12 who have yet to receive any shots and adults above 50 who have not received their second booster shot to get them as soon as possible to minimize the chance of developing severe complications in the case of COVID infection.
