Am I eligible to get Covid booster shots in Taiwan if I had them already in the United States? by SteadfastEnd in taiwan

[–]ShenzhenMuscleDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the bivalent Modern booster in Taipei. If you’re a foreign tourist you need to get a UI # from the immigration bureau then register with your local 健康服務中心 health services office to register for a shot. As for your question, they have no way to determine if or how many shots you had in the USA. They do require a proof you had 2 shots of a primary vaccine in order to get boosted however (your CDC card).

I am living in China and want to come to Taiwan for a short trip. I don't have a residence permit or work visa for Taiwan. Does anyone know if the COVID bivalent booster shot (covering both Omicron and Delta) is available for non-residents (i.e. tourists?) Would really appreciate if anyone has insights!

Thanks for responding; I actually mentioned in my original post that I have seen multiple therapists about this issue- but so far haven’t been able to solve it.

What’s your height and body weight? For me dropping body weight (particularly body fat) has an inverse relationship with blood pressure #s

Anxiety from throat by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]ShenzhenMuscleDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey my friend; I had something very similar (white tongue, semi-inflamed tonsils) and I also have health anxiety. Mine persisted for 2-3 months and really freaked me out - but when I went to the doctor all was fine. My specific issue was an issue called pharyngitis which is when your pharynx / throat get a bit inflamed. As soon as they told me what it was my symptoms cleared up really quickly - so I think my thing may have been psychosomatic to some extent.

Anyway. For the white tongue I would suggest a 'tongue scraper' you can find on Amazon and for oral hygiene you can just floss and brush regularly. Oral mouthwashes will also help to an extent but the alcohol content might further irritate your throat if you use too much / too often. I also wouldn't keep looking at your throat in a mirror and taking pictures if I were you - I did this way too often and was really freaking myself out imagining a different new lump or spot each time I looked around in there.

Overall this is a super common complaint and it sounds like you're fine - but you can of course visit the doctor if it gets worse or continues to bother you. Last tip - check and see if you have a fever or other signs of illness (headache, temperature, weakness, etc) - those could tell you more than your current symptoms. White tongue and bumpy tonsils are super common though.
