Coronavirus vaccine in Taiwan - Feb/Mar 2021

From the article linked above:

[Minister] Chen stressed that the government will make sure the vaccine is safe to use before allowing Taiwanese people to be vaccinated after reports of blood clots forming among some people who had received the inoculation, leading 13 European countries to pause their vaccination programs.

The European Union’s medicines regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), is currently reviewing whether the blood clots are a direct result of the vaccine and is scheduled to hold an extraordinary meeting on the issue on Friday (Taipei time).

CECC spokesman Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said the center’s meeting in Taipei will look at the reasons why some countries have suspended administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine and study any recommendations put forth by the EMA.
