Officials mull vaccination leave to speed uptake (2021/04/08)
Taiwan has reported nine more adverse reactions to the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine. In one case, a man who developed a form of bruising called ecchymosis. Officials said that so far, more than 20,000 people have been inoculated, and no link has been seen between the vaccine and the risk of blood clots. Also on Thursday, the Central Epidemic Command Center said it may authorize vaccination leave to encourage more people to get the shot.
?Chuang Jen-hsiang
CECC spokesman
Based on what we’re seeing on V-Watch, about 6% to 8% of people aren’t able to go to work in the first one or two days after inoculation. So we might move toward authorizing vaccination leave. The labor ministry’s plan does not require employers to make it paid leave. Something that is on the table is economic incentives. At present, the CECC is considering those two issues.
Under the proposal, a person can take the leave on the day of vaccination and the day after. Employees cannot be forced to use other types of leave instead, and they cannot be marked absent. However, employers can choose not to pay wages for those days. Proof of vaccination will be required to apply for the leave.

6～8%當日無法工作 勞動部建議"疫苗接種假"
疫情指揮中心今天公布，目前已經有2萬多人接種AZ疫苗，不過7號有新增9件的疫苗不良事件通報，其中1名男性施打後肢體出現瘀斑。不過莊人祥澄清，目前檢測結果和血栓無關，另外針對勞動部建議的「疫苗接種假」，指揮中心也做出回應。
[[疫情指揮中心發言人 莊人祥]]
“根據我們V-watch的一個觀察，大概有6%至8%的人打完第一二天，可能就沒辦法工作，有可能會朝向這方向會有疫苗接種假，目前勞動部提出的方案是不強制雇主給薪資，再來是說有關經濟誘因這也是研擬的方向，目前指揮中心針對這兩個議題也都還在研議當中。”
勞動部建議的"疫苗接種假"，接種當天、以及隔天24小時，身體不適可以提出請假，雇主不能強迫勞工請事假、特休假，或其他假別，不能記曠職，但可以不給薪，勞工只要有接種疫苗紀錄卡，不需要診斷證明。
