As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the island, vaccine shortages have become a pressing issue for residents of Taiwan. Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of China's State Council, criticized Taiwan authorities at a press conference on May 26, highlighting the severe shortage of vaccines and the general health situation on the island.
The spokesperson pointed out that despite the ongoing epidemic, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have not adequately addressed the critical shortage of vaccines, exacerbating the health crisis faced by the population.
In response to these developments, a CGTN stringer conducted interviews with local residents in Taipei to gauge their thoughts on the vaccine shortage and their attitudes towards vaccination. Many residents voiced their frustration over the lack of available vaccines, emphasizing the urgent need for improved distribution and access to ensure public health and safety.
The current situation has sparked widespread discussions among the community about the effectiveness of the government's response to the pandemic and the steps needed to mitigate the impact of the virus on daily life.
