DPP Hsinchu City Councilor Chen Jian-ming pointed out during a city council question session on June 4 that the high cost (nearly NT$20,000) of the shingles vaccine leads to low vaccination rates. He proposed that the city government fully subsidize the first dose for residents. The Hsinchu City Health Bureau responded that it will comprehensively evaluate fiscal and public health benefits and make rolling policy adjustments.
