The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced its COVID-19 publicly funded vaccine available for all Taiwanese nationals and residents who belong to the 9th category, individuals who are born in or before the year 2003 (18 years old and up), with high-risk conditions, rare diseases or serious injuries. Individuals who belong to such category can register to the Vaccine Appointment Registration Platform by accessing the website https://1922.gov.tw/vas/  and can specify the vaccine brand preference (e. g. AstraZeneca or Moderna). 

For first-time users, since the website is in Chinese, it is advised for international students to use Google Chrome as their browser to immediately auto-translate the content (or you can right-click, then select Translate in English option). You can also use the Google Translate website as your alternative, but this is more inconvenient.

Step 1: Click register. You need to input your ARC number, NHI number, and the verification code displayed on the screen. For those with a new ARC number, please use your old ARC number as reflected in your NHI card (for those who did not update/renew their NHI card with their new ARC number) if you have problems registering.

Step 2: Click reservation. Once you have successfully registered and qualified, you can now reserve for inoculation by clicking the reservation button. You need to fill out some information such as your name, mobile number, and the type of vaccine.   

Step 3: Once your reservation is accepted and the vaccine becomes available, a text message will be sent to your mobile number to make an online appointment.
