轉知—新冠疫苗明年(2026)元旦起「擴大全民接種」

疾病管制署發布醫界通函指出，考量冬天為呼吸道傳染病好發季節，且後續春節連續假期探親旅遊等活動頻繁，新冠病毒傳播風險增加，而疫苗接種後約需2週才有完整保護力，經衛生福利部傳染病防治諮詢會預防接種組(ACIP)今(114)年12月9日會議討論，決議自明(115)年1月1日至2月28日，擴大新冠疫苗公費對象為「滿6個月以上尚未接種之民眾」，以提升民眾免疫保護力，降低感染後併發重症及死亡風險。

尚未接種疫苗的民眾可透過疾管署官網或「流感新冠疫苗及流感藥劑地圖」查詢鄰近合約院所，並電洽預約接種。

**Announcement Regarding Expansion of Free COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage**

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a bulletin to the medical community, noting that winter is a peak season for respiratory infectious diseases. With the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday period, which involves frequent family visits and travel activities, the risk of COVID-19 transmission is expected to increase. Since it takes approximately two weeks after vaccination for full protective immunity to develop, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) under the Ministry of Health and Welfare convened a meeting on December 9, 2025 (R.O.C. year 114), and resolved to expand free COVID-19 vaccination coverage from January 1, 2026 (R.O.C. year 115) to February 28, 2026. The expanded eligibility includes all individuals aged six months or older who have not yet received the vaccine. This measure aims to enhance public immunity and reduce the risk of severe illness and death following infection.

Individuals who have not yet been vaccinated may consult the CDC’s official website or use the “Influenza & COVID-19 Vaccination and Antiviral Medication Map” to locate nearby contracted medical facilities. Appointments can be made by contacting these facilities directly.
