I’d go. If they ask questions, just do what I do, act like a thick foreigner who doesn’t understand and they’ll get fed up and put you through just to be rid of you.
I do that if I get stopped by the police for whatever reason–just act thick. It’s got me out of a ticking off for crossing the road where I’m not meant to a few times.
Just got my 2nd AZ shot at Far Eastern. Even though my first shot there was on May 10th (not prior to May 9th and only 8 weeks from 1st shot), I was able to make an appointment online for my 2nd shot. Arrived at 1:30 pm and went up the escalator to counter 8 on the right where they checked my vaccination card. Even though I have a plane ticket departing in 2 weeks, they didn’t look at it. Then filled out consent form and got my shot with less than 3 min wait. No fee for 2nd shot. Very efficient.
Not in any of the cases I’ve done it.
They were just cases where I could not possibly produce the required documents. The events/facts described in said documents were accurate.
On this page for NTUH I see lots of openings over the next couple of weeks. I made a booking there successfully (i.e they don’t seem to require your first jab to have been done there), and later cancelled it when MacKay opened up (i.e. you won’t be stuck with the same cancelling dilemma you just faced). Maybe you can make an appointment for at your 10-week mark just so you know there’s one option for you?
Caveat: my Chinese is awful and maybe I totally misunderstand what that page is saying.
A friend of mine who got her first dose of AZ (self-pay) on May 14 is getting her second dose tomorrow. That’s good news for those who got their first dose after May 9.
Was a breeze: tons of people lining up outside, but in and out (now fully vaccinated) in under 30 minutes.
Short: wait in line outside, someone takes a photo of your NHI card, go in and to the vaccination room, put NHI card in the waiting list monitor on the wall, fill out an English form asking which vaccine and for what reason are you travelling, get called into doctors office immediately, get asked if I felt unwell after first shot, then wait outside 5 minutes, get the shot, get card updated, done. Supposed to wait 15 minutes before going home.
Awesome! Thank you Taiwan, and thank you Japan!
This time they even asked if I need the vaccine batch number. They added it (hand written) to the vaccination card. They explained my first shot was from Europe, second one from Japan.
That is very interesting, as it indicates that some of the earlier AZ shipments (they came from Korea, along with the first donation from Japan) may have also been made in Japan . . .
