Taiwan compatriots offered inoculations on Chinese mainland

Taiwan compatriots with residence permits or medical insurance certificates can register for vaccines in their places of residence on the basis of willingness and informed consent, the same policy and procedure governing mainland residents, said Ma.

Those without the two documents can apply to Taiwan affairs authorities at county level or above for such services, he said.

Teachers and students from Taiwan can apply for the vaccination in their universities and schools and get the same access as their mainland counterparts on the campuses, said Ma.

The vaccination is free for mainland residents and Taiwan compatriots, Ma added.
