Enter the emergency use list, and its authorization status is still marked: "Anticipated date once all information has been received." (Wait until all the information is available to confirm).

　　Zhuang Renxiang said on the evening of the 28th that the use of vaccines must be approved by the health authority in the area where they can be used for vaccination. Whether they have been included in the World Health Organization’s EUL emergency use list is not a necessary condition.

He said that the vaccine donated by Japan to Taiwan was approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan on May 21 this year for AZ’s EUA emergency authorization. Taiwan approved and approved the vaccine project of AZ’s Japanese plant on June 2 Japan's AZ vaccine.

"Oh my god, it means that our people have received vaccines that have not been approved by the WHO. We are helping Japan. The ambassador also bowed at 90 degrees to thank Japan for letting Taiwan be their human laboratory?"

　　"Is this the truth that Japan doesn't use AZ? Because the information is not complete..." Some netizens said, "To give alms to a vaccine that they dare not fight, the United States is not allowed to fight, and Taiwan kills people, the DPP bends over to welcome it 90 degrees. ."

　　Some netizens questioned the DPP authorities: "Why didn't it make it clear to the whole people"; "The super-large proving ground... This is not a selling station or what is selling a station."

　　Some netizens also criticized the DPP authorities for the double standard, “The vaccine in the mainland passed the emergency authorization-Chen Shizhong (the commander of epidemic prevention in Taiwan) did not dare to use the vaccine, and the vaccine in Japan did not pass the emergency authorization-Chen Shizhong did the picture card thanks to Japan, I really don’t Knowing what Chen Shizhong has done in the fight against the epidemic other than the first place in the anti-China epidemic?" "Fuck again! The donation of vaccines by the people is so strict."

　　Previously, media in many countries have reported on the side effects of AstraZeneca vaccine.

On June 10, the Russian Satellite News Agency reported that British researchers found that the adverse effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine include mild thrombotic symptoms, which lead to bleeding.

Before the Japanese flight carrying vaccines took off, Taiwan’s "representative to Japan" Hsieh Chang-ting bowed to the airport to "see off" in the rain. He claimed that these vaccines could be said to be timely rain for Taiwan, and he was very grateful.

　　At that time, some netizens questioned, “I’m grateful if they don’t use it, and it will expire soon. It’s only personal.” Regarding Japan’s gift of vaccines to Taiwan, netizens were most worried about Japan’s “don’t want and have doubts”. To Taiwan.
