As Taiwan is shutting things down for the first time to the worst coronavirus outbreak since last year when the global pandemic began. With hundreds of local cases per day, the infection alert has risen to level three nationally. Due to the outbreak, the demand of self-paid COVID-19 vaccination rises significantly. As the demand of vaccine becoming higher, Taiwan has signed contracts to purchase 10 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 5.05 million doses of Moderna. More than 5 million doses of vaccines from U.S. pharmaceutical company Moderna are due to reach Taiwan this month. There are five most prominent vaccines, even though you will likely not be able to choose which vaccine you will get, it’s still helpful to know how each one is different. Here are the comparison of five vaccines. References: Yale Medicine
