Clinic to be fined over shots programPRIORITY GROUPS: A line of people were waiting at the Good Liver Clinic, apparently to get shots, while the CECC announced more priority groups for jabsBy Lee I-chia and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Taipei-based Good Liver Clinic is to be fined NT$2 million (US$72,028) after giving free COVID-19 vaccine shots to people not in groups eligible to receive them, Taipei Deputy Mayor Vivian Huang (黃珊珊) said yesterday. The Chinese-language Liberty Times (the Taipei Times’ sister paper) on Tuesday in an exclusive story citing an anonymous tip reported that a Taipei clinic was doling out unused vaccines. Vaccine production, storage and logistics personnel have also been added to the second priority group, Chen said. “The major changes to the list are the fifth and sixth priority groups,” Chen said. Only about 2,000 people are in the fourth priority group, mainly diplomats, athletes or contestants representing Taiwan.
