Premier Su Tseng-chang has waded in the disputes over influenza vaccinations, saying infants and those aged beyond 65 should get the shot first.

He is urging the public to "let the people at higher risks" get inoculated sooner so that communities would be safer. The premier also says he has received phone calls from Kaohsiung and the Taoyuan mayor, who reported that the city was running out of stock.

Su has reassured people that there have been far fewer cases of flu infections so far this season compared with last year, and that they don't need to worry so much about contracting the flu.
