As a result, anyone who goes to the gym, attends intercity religious events such as Dajia Mazu procession, and takes part in local tour groups arranged by travel agencies will be required to show proof of a third shot, the CECC said.
Re: the situation with the 2 year old because I’m getting a lot of weird replies concerning it. I don’t like it either. Most importantly, it’s beyond tragic. I can’t imagine losing my kid like that. But more relevant to us, it would be a misstep to put the whole of society online again due to a very rare complication that affects only a fraction of a percentage of children infected. But those that are downplaying it or arguing it’s connected with something else are just looking for confirmation bias that COVID can’t (on very rare occasions) be serious in children.

taiwan hasn’t vaccinated the 5-11yr olds have they? I think in the states the only vaccine for 5-11 is pfizer/bnt. Idk if taiwan has anymore of those? is it all Moderna?
