The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has seen a rise in negative perceptions due to disputes over imported eggs, according to data from the Taiwan Public Opinion Research Center (TPOC). The center analyzed online opinions from January to October and found that the DPP received more negative than positive reactions. Public dissatisfaction with the DPP is linked to disputes over imported eggs, tensions in the Taiwan Strait, fraud and cybersecurity concerns, and energy shortages. Other factors include unsafe pedestrian traffic, residential justice issues, subsidies for private schools, unclear labeling of American pork, and disputes over flu vaccination. Despite the diminishing lead, DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te remains ahead with over 60 days until the 2024 general election.

Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is urging individuals to get vaccinated against monkeypox at one of 155 domestic medical institutions, following the emergence of a domestic monkeypox fatality case in the northern region.

The man, who was HIV positive, fell ill on Nov. 1 and succumbed approximately 50 days after hospitalization. Monkeypox has a typical fatality rate of 0.1 to 0.2 percent, but it can be as high as 7 percent in individuals with an HIV-caused weakened immune condition. The CDC is specifically urging people with underlying conditions to seek vaccination against monkeypox to prevent the development of severe conditions.

外交部日前表示，只要民眾持有我國認可的「國際疫苗接種證明」，入境菲律賓就可免隔離，但有台商爆料，菲律賓並不承認我國的國際預防接種證明書（International Certificate of Vaccination，簡稱ICV、黃皮書），因此入境仍需自費預訂6天5夜防疫旅館進行隔離檢疫，國民黨立委江啟臣痛批外交部誤導國人、狀況外。對此，外交部今（22）日表示，已向菲國政府嚴正說明，促請菲方儘速修訂入境相關檢疫規範，而菲國方面也回應，目前正規劃採認我國數位疫苗證明，更建議台菲互相承認數位疫苗接種證明。
