The National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) on Saturday warned the public against fraudulent text messages asking for personal information, bank account numbers and passwords to renew National Health Insurance (NHI) cards.

Food delivery workers should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination to ensure their safety, Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Legislator Lai Hsiang-ling (賴香伶) said yesterday.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Labor should establish a schedule for vaccinating food deliverers and others in high-risk occupations, she said, adding that she has submitted a request on the issue to the ministries.
“Protecting these delivery personnel is in the interest of both their health and ours,” she said.
