To increase the vaccination rate in Yunlin, the Public Health Bureau set up an international station to provide vaccination services for the public (including foreigners). To consolidate the Health Safety Nets in Taiwan, Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) has formulated the “Carefree Covid-19 Vaccination Program” that encourages foreign nationals, including undocumented migrant workers and overstayers to receive free vaccination.

Furthermore, the project adopts “won’t be reported”, “won’t be seized”, “won’t be charged for any fee”, “won’t be banned”. The basic information required for registering vaccinations is for the issuance of the vaccination record (yellow card), which will not be used as the basis for investigation in the future.
