Data for weekend is combined.
Sundays are reported.
They gotta put it somewhere 
If you donāt believe me go check the files out on monday afternoon, it will say āpeople vaccinated 26-27th Juneā.
Yeah, I was quite surprised that TW even has this sort of irresponsible reporting. Fear sells, I guess.

The source I get the info from doesnāt report the figures on Sundays.
(Itās frustrating. The CDC works every day. Covid is an emergency. Imagine if there was a wildfire and firefighters didnāt work Sundaysā¦)

There are 110 seats in the stadium. Families get to watch from the stand. About 12 medical personnels are divided into two groups. Two doctors per group sit on those rolling chairs to ask and give information. They donāt actually administer the vaccine though. Instead two nurses pushing a station are the ones that administer the shot.
The entire process takes about 45 minutes from walk in to getting vaccinated. That included identity checks and filling out a form. You will then have to wait there for another 30 minutes to make sure there are no immediate umpredicted effects.
Iām told you barely feel the shot, and getting your blood taken is much more painful than getting this vaccine.
Iāll have to see how hard the side effects can get.

This was my experience. I barely felt it, and what I did feel wasnāt like a needle in my arm.

Iām day after second AZ dose now. Thankfully side effects have been almost zero today (very different than first dose ). Wife has slightly raised temp. Thatās it along with sore arms.

AZ I have heard typically has stronger side effects for the first dose; with the mRNA vaccines, the second dose can kick in some stronger side effects.
No idea personally if this is true as I have to date received neither.

Neither my husband nor I felt the shot. Both of us started feeling muscle soreness in our arms 12 hours after vaccination. The day after the shot, my husband got a low fever, I had a headache. Arm soreness lasted for 72 hours for both of us. Colleagues reported similar symptoms.

Wife and I are exactly the same as @Brianjones and his wife.
Wife has a higher temp, both have a little ache in our arm (nothing painful just like you had been lifting something too heavy).
Fist shot was a bitch and made us both sick the day after, but only lasted 24Hās.

More vaccine shenanigans in Taipei City, this time involving Cheng Hsin General Hospital in Tianmu.

TW is less different from China than it would like to believe.
Lien Chan sure liked to visit there didnāt he.

Just came across this interview with Chen Shih-chung from March.
Basically sums it all up.
Western countries started vaccinating in December. Taiwan is only expecting receiving its first vaccines in mid-March at the earliest. Why so late?
Countries in more severe situations invested in vaccines early. They took a big risk, so they are obtaining vaccines earlier. Taiwanās strategy is to wait until the vaccines pass the second and third phases of clinical trials before investing. Also of note, if you order more than 50 million doses, you have bargaining power.
At the same time, we are confident in the vaccines being developed in Taiwan. Weāre expecting them to be available in July or August. Because the pandemic is under control here, there is no urgency. We can observe how the vaccines work in other countries.

Why was spending money and booking different vaccines in advance a big risk ?
Thatās less risk !

Really disappointed in how short-sighted Chen was. āThereās no urgency because we have COVID under control.ā Gee, do ya think one day you might not have the most unpredictable contagion in our lifetimes under control? Shouldnāt we prepare for that eventuality instead of believing weāre invulnerable to something thatās wrecked havoc almost everywhere else on the globe?

This is TW thinking. High aversion to anything they think has risk, with a tendency to focus on money in risk analysis, which leads to being penny wise and pound foolish.
Sometimes being risk averse is a good thing. Like shutting the border to China early. But with the vaccines, I think they focused on the wrong risk (money vs. public health). Which was totally unnecessary anyway given how wealthy TW is.

They got cocky and it worked until it didnāt.

Basically yes.
Though remember the same game plan (emphasizing border control, mandatory quarantine, wearing masks, and chasing down and isolating contacts of infected cases)āall this still matters, perhaps especially as the Delta variant takes hold internationally.
Weāll see how they can do . . .
