Can you point out a reputable paper?
Backing your claims.
What claim specifically? I don’t think I’ve claimed anything much, except to suggest that there’s a lot of error in the reporting systems (same point as slawa, except with a rather different slant).

I think the main reason is you can’t travel with Medigen.
Still, Taiwanese people need to stop being squirmish about their own brands.
If only medigen had given it a Japanese name.

There are a few more reasons.

As noted earlier by @yinggeaussie another batch of Moderna arrived today. Some extra details on how to find vaccines (not boosters) at walk-in sites are in this report:

Ironically, the Japanese have the same complex about their own products.
The first head of McDonald’s Japan expressed this sentiment:
“All Japanese have an inferiority complex about anything that is foreign because everything in our culture has come from the outside,” Fujita once said. “Our writing comes from China, our Buddhism from Korea, and after the war, everything new from Coca-Cola to IBM, came from America. Japanese people are basically anti-foreigner. We don’t like the Chinese, we don’t like the Koreans, and we especially don’t like Americans because we lost the war to them.”

Are things so popular in Hsinchu City that 104.00% of 18-29yo have lined of for a 1st shot? Or maybe its their population data that is a bit outdated and it has actually risen.
And the people of Taitung could maybe do with the threat of their NYE fireworks being exploded in a rather painful place. As the old saying goes “5 Chinese Crackers up your ********”. Or maybe many have emigrated to Hsinchu.
Ooh, look at the Hsinchu youth shooting for 120%.
We discussed it a couple of times before - I’m pretty confident it’s because migrant workers are included in the numerator (doses administered) but not the denominator (Taiwanese citizens/household registration data).

I’ve been trying for weeks to get my second AZ shot, and it’s just impossible. Can one use a different vaccine for a second?
Yes, lots of countries did that, and found that mixing actually had better results. I think BNT is pretty easy to get in Taiwan right now:
