[Reporter Xie Jieyu / Nantou Report] There is another vaccine riot in Nantou County today. The holiday vaccination station of the Tzu Chi Liaison Office in Nantou City has seen a crowd of people in the morning. The sun was shining so brightly that everyone was sweating in the queue, full of anger and public grievances, which greatly reduced the county government's good intentions of working overtime to set up a holiday vaccination station!

In addition to expressing apology to the elders, Nantou County Health Director Chen Nansong also hurriedly sent mineral water and added sunshades to cool off the heat. He emphasized that the enthusiasm of the public for vaccination this time is indeed much higher than in the past. Almost all clinics in the country are closed, and the amount of vaccination cannot be expanded from the original single line to the second or third line, which leads to public complaints. The bureau will learn the lesson and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

This vaccination is mainly based on the next-generation Moderna vaccine. The Health Bureau has opened holiday vaccination stations in 13 townships and cities in the county. Except for the Nantou City vaccination station, which is located at the Tzu Chi Nantou Liaison Office, the rest are located in the health center, and the target is 65 The 3 major groups, including the elderly over the age of 18, residents of long-term care institutions, and those over 18 with immunocompromised and low immunity, started the immunization at 8:30 this morning. Crowds of people appeared at all vaccination stations, especially the Tzu Chi vaccination station. It was crowded, and public grievances boiled to the extreme.

Shen Sujing, a candidate for the DPP's Nantou County Councillor, said rudely that it has been nearly 3 years since the outbreak of the epidemic, and the Health Bureau does not know how many times of vaccination work has been done. The staged "vaccine chaos" also highlighted the careless and uncaring side of the Nantou County government team led by the Kuomintang county magistrate Lin Mingqin, and suggested that in the future, the holiday vaccination station could plan the movement line in the village or in the neighborhood, so that everyone rushed to push for vaccination. Disturbances can be avoided from happening again.
