Employing multiple approaches to purchase vaccines from the US should be prioritized, with possible support from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). On April 14 last year, an advertisement in the New York Times coined the slogan “Taiwan can help” amid a COVID-19 outbreak in the US. The AIT should also assist Taiwan to purchase vaccines from the US. In the meantime, Taiwan desperately needs help from all available sources, especially the AIT, to purchase vaccines from the US. As COVID-19 has spiked so quickly and pervasively in Taiwan, acquiring enough vaccines for all residents is a national mission that cannot be ignored.
