If there are adverse reactions, the second dose can be "mixed"
Everyone is also concerned about the progress of vaccination. At present, the coverage rate of vaccination in Taiwan has reached 20.4%. Yesterday (16 July) statistics set the highest record since vaccination. Regarding the question of whether to mix vaccine brands, although there is currently one case where the second dose was changed to Moderna after being vaccinated with AZ, the second dose was changed to Moderna but Chen Shizhong emphasized that serious allergies and other adverse reactions can be used for different brands.
The vaccine also shows that like the first three types of personnel who can administer the second dose, if the first dose of AZ produces an adverse reaction, the second dose can be changed to a vaccine such as Moderna.

Taiwan purchased AZ in October last year? The Minister of Public Health of Thailand and the pharmaceutical factory letters show
Reporter : Lin Baohong
Since the second wave of the covid outbreak in Taiwan in mid-May, the problem of insufficient vaccines has always existed. People have to ask themselves when they can get the vaccine, so vaccine procurement has also become the focus of attention. A few days ago, there was an exclusive report by the Thai media, exposing the contents of the confidential letters between the Minister of Public Health of the country and AstraZeneca (AZ).
Among them, Taiwan had a record of vaccine procurement as early as October 2020, preparing to fight the epidemic, but because of the changes in the epidemic and the current situation, the production capacity of the foundry is affected, and shipments are delayed.
Letters between the Minister of Public Health of Thailand and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals are circulating on the Internet.
Facebook fans who often translate news and current events in Thailand "Thai Translation News นักแปล กระแสไทย-ไต้หวั on Facebook", posted on Facebook on the 17th day in Thailand. Minister of Health joined the Anutin Charnvirakul and AZ Pharmaceutical Factory to explain the outflow of letters.
Previously, the local media "ISRA News" reported this news, but it did not immediately receive attention. It was not until a scholar Sarinee Achavanuntakul reposted it that it triggered a lot of sharing and discussion from all walks of life. The Thai Facebook fan group exposed the content of the letter. Taiwan had already purchased the AZ vaccine as early as October 2020.
The letter pointed out that Taiwan is also one of the earliest countries in the group to sign the contract. The contract was signed in October last year. This proves that Taiwan is indeed very good. The vaccine has already been purchased. It is only because of the unpredictable epidemic that the production capacity of the production area is affected, and the delivery of vaccines is delayed. However, the letter also disclosed that in the beginning, the public health department in Thailand only ordered 3 million doses "monthly" from AZ, and it was later increased to 6 million doses by AZ.
According to a report from The Bangkok Post, the participating Wisconsin Army also confirmed that this letter was indeed received. On 25 June, I received a letter from AZ Pharmaceuticals and responded to the other party 5 days later, indicating that Thailand now needs 10 million doses of vaccines every month to effectively suppress the surge in the number of infections.
