The Taipei City Government has ramped up its vaccination drive to counter the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

Mid-sized vaccination sites were set up in seven districts throughout the city to enable more people to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot, amid the growing number of locally transmitted cases.

Walk-in vaccinations at the Taipei Main Station as well as house call services from the mobile vaccination team are now available for those wanting to be inoculated as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, citizens are still able to make appointments on Taipei City’s Vaccination Appointment Platform or hospital online appointment systems.

Taiwan remains at COVID-19 alert level 2 nationwide with stricter mask-wearing and other pandemic prevention measures.
