The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday denied a report that Taiwan had obtained 100,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and that they were expected to arrive on Thursday.
The CECC would officially announce the latest progress on procuring vaccines as soon as it is confirmed, said Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the center.

Tainan First Senior High School on Wednesday is to inaugurate its first political party, the TNFSH Full-Sugarism Party, to help support students’ democratic literacy.
Freshman Tsai Wei-po (蔡偉柏), a founding member of the new group, said the party was created to bring attention to student self-governance, and to supervise the administration and student association.
“One voice is easy to ignore,” Tsai was quoted as saying by the Chinese-language United Daily News on Friday. “A group has more influence.”
