Starting on Tuesday (July 20), those who selected AstraZeneca as their vaccine of choice will receive a text message notifying them that they can make a reservation for the jab. According to the Workforce Development Agency (WDA), persons eligible for vaccine appointments in the third round include foreign nationals residing in Taiwan.
