Taipei City mayor Ko Wen-je explained that appointments are not limited to residents of Taipei City. Foreigners and locals aging 72 years and above can visit the all-English website of the Taipei Medical University Hospital website on June 30 and July 1 (8 am to 5 pm).

34 other hospitals in Taipei City are also considering administering vaccines. Not all medical centers are designed for large-scale operations so many schools and activity centers will serve as vaccination stations.

Once an appointment is set, people must pay attention to the locations of vaccine stations. (Photo / Retrieved from Reuters)
