On June 26, 2024, the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) resumed the 'Expanded Public Payment Measure for Antiviral Drugs for Influenza' where individuals with flu-like symptoms and contact with others experiencing similar symptoms can receive free antiviral drugs until July 31. With both flu and COVID-19 in a pandemic stage, the CDC reintroduced this measure due to the increased number of confirmed cases. Additionally, starting October 1, specific groups like healthcare workers, individuals aged 65 and above, young children, and pregnant women can receive both COVID-19 and flu vaccines on the same day. The CDC has procured over 6.88 million doses of flu vaccines and 5.5 million doses of new COVID-19 vaccines for this year.
