To increase the vaccination rate, the “Carefree Covid-19 Vaccination Program” has been launched to encourage foreign nationals, including undocumented migrant workers and overstayers to receive free vaccination.

The program adopts four principles, “won’t be reported”, “won’t be seized”, “won’t be charged for any fee”, “won’t be banned” and it will last until January 31, 2022.
