Lin Shibi yesterday (19) in the personal Facebook fan "Japan self-help tourism poisoner" analysis, the third dose of vaccine coverage rushed very quickly, has exceeded 10%; for the president of the National Taiwan University Children's Hospital Huang Limin said that to coexist with the virus, the third dose coverage rate of the elderly over 60 years old needs to reach 80%, he believes that it may be slightly difficult.

Lin said that in the United Kingdom, which has survived the Omicron virus crisis so far, the overall third dose rate is 53.4%, and more than 90% for people over 50 years old. Lin Shibi stressed that at present, the most feared thing is that the elderly who have not yet received a dose of vaccine will cause severe illness after infection with Omicron, and even cause medical paralysis.

As for Huang Limin's statement that he should buy enough antiviral drugs, Lin Said said that there is still room for discussion on whether to buy 10% of the total population according to the gram of influenza, because the application of drugs at the beginning should be limited to patients with severe factors and will not be widely used, but if the coverage of vaccines is higher, the demand for drugs can be less.
