Shi Chenggui, Director of Health of Pingtung County, said that affected by the epidemic in the past two years, the influenza vaccination rate in Ping County was slightly lower than in previous years. Last year, the vaccination rate of people over 65 years old was about 45%. This year, he hopes to increase to more than 50%; 10,000 doses of influenza vaccine are enough to cover more than 25% of the population of Ping County.

In order to protect the health of the county residents and to cooperate with the central policy, the county government also purchased and provided vaccines for teachers and staff under the age of 50 in Pingtung County High School, and vaccinated them at school together with students to enhance the protection of campus groups.

Today, before 11 o'clock at the Pingtung Railway Station Speedy Station, about 100 people will be given the Moderna next-generation vaccine, and more than 100 people will be given the flu vaccine. About two-thirds or more of the two vaccines are vaccinated at the same time, each on the left and right. The 67-year-old Mr. Chen from Pingtung City, who was also vaccinated on the arm, said that because he was diagnosed in June, he came to get the third dose of the new crown and the flu vaccine this time. He hoped to have a safe and healthy New Year. The public can check on the website of the Department of Health.
