Wait at least until tomorrow (June 23), the date that was announced.
December 31th? Thirty one-th?

Meh. Itâs a pretty mild âEngrishâ error as far as they go.

Everyoneâs got their own views on their priority! How are these guys getting the vaccines released to them?

âWe need to specially train our staff to understand how foreigners can exist in Taiwanâ - after all if youâre a foreigner why are you in Taiwan? Now if you sit in the same row as our nationals, theyâll get confused 
hence special times. All for your own safety.

Wow. The IT ministry has an amazing system setup for vaccination tracking in Taiwan. Not a single country in the world can beat this system!
Yeah, I remember those people in some thread around here. But when vaccines start to open up more, theyâre going to have to rely more on the online reservation system because itâs going to get competitive. If foreigners are locked out of that system and have to call some office to register, theyâre going to be at the back of every line.

Bribes.
Getting the same now that I finally got to log in. The link likely wonât become active until the 23rd, so give it another 30 mins or wait until tomorrow morning.
It is true. If an old guy turns around and sees a foreigner, he will feel confused. He wonât know if he is in the line for McDonaldâs or a club.
Also, if his grandson is with him, he will have to deal with the little boy pointing at the foreigner and saying foreigner, foreigner again and again. Think of the old guy, this will give him a lot of trouble.

I was told by the manager of my school that teachers (including lowly cram school teachers like myself) would become eligible for the vaccine starting in July, according to an announcement today by Chen shih-chung.
Can anyone confirm this? Iâve not seen anything about this on Focus Taiwan or Taiwan News, or when Iâve scrolled through this thread. Also, do we need to download the app and register now for a vaccination?
I donât know about when specifically (July sounds too early to me), but teachers are included in one of the latter levels of the priorities list (like 7 or 8). Teachers up to high-school level are included; youâre lucky, as a uni teacher Iâm not eligible (which is total BS).
Oh. And Iâm also not sure if buxiban teachers are included or not. I interpreted it as elementary and secondary school teachers. But I donât know.

still getting this screen as of 12:05
Iâd heard before that public school teachers are included in category 7 but I didnât think that included cram schools. Was it mentioned in an announcement today? Iâve seen articles today saying over 64s, foreigners over 75, transport workers, kindergarten teachers and various others will be included but nothing about cram schools.
And yeah I agree it does seem unfair and illogical not to include university teachers

Sorry, I donât know.
Follow William Yang on Twitter. He does moment-by-moment translations of the CECC pressers. I get about 80% of my info from his feed. Iâd ask your director if he can forward you a news article about the July deadline or the priority list including cram school teachers.
My university sent an email yesterday asking which teachers wanted to be included in the vaccine program in July, so somethingâs going on at the university level.
They said I couldnât make use of that program because Iâve already had one dose, fair enough, but Iâm increasingly worried about falling through bureaucratic cracks.
The email emphasized applicants would have no choice about vaccine.
