TAIPEI - Taiwan kicked off its Covid-19 vaccination programme on March 22, but the roll-out has been slow, with only 10,891 people receiving their first shots by Tuesday (March 30), the majority of them front-line medical workers.
Next in line are medical staff who are not manning Covid-19 wards and are on the front line. They can get vaccinated from April 6.
