As Taiwan enters the sixth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, clinics are crowded, with doctors warning that immunity wanes after six months post-vaccination. People are advised to get booster shots to increase protection. The Omicron variant has driven this wave, characterized by prolonged low-grade fever in early stages, leading to delayed positive signs on quick tests. Authorities plan to distribute 3 million rapid test kits at over 2,000 clinics starting in July. Officials note a more severe symptom presentation in this wave compared to previous ones, prompting the public to fast-track vaccinations for prevention. Severe COVID-19 cases have risen, with predictions pointing to a peak in August and September and concerns about a subsequent wave in October and November as autumn arrives.
