Dermatologist Chung Wen-hung (鐘文宏), who is also director of the Taoyuan hospital’s Drug Hypersensitivity Clinical and Research Center, urged people to get vaccinated as soon as they are allowed to, because the virus is more deadly than vaccine-induced allergic reactions.
Most allergic reactions triggered by vaccines can be treated, Chung said, adding that the hospital has received many inquiries about this issue after the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced
Taipei, June 11 (CNA) Taiwan will be able to start administering the 1.24 million shots of AstraZeneca vaccine it received last week from Japan beginning Saturday, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said on Friday.
