TPP demands vaccine transparency, subsidiesBy Hsieh Chun-lin and Kayleigh Madjar / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) caucus yesterday called for better vaccine information and subsidies for lost work to help children and parents weather a worsening outbreak of COVID-19. As the domestic case count leapt to 8,822 yesterday, the TPP caucus said there were “oversights” in government policy regarding children. TPP caucus whip Chiu Chen-yuan (邱臣遠) called for transparency on vaccines, starting with information on the side effects of the Moderna vaccine in children. Second is vaccine information, he said. Not knowing when the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine might become available, parents cannot make a decision on which type of vaccine to choose for their child, he said.
