Earlier this month, Military-run telecommunications company, Viettel has launched a service for online vaccination registration. The website and the app are expected to be updated with an English version in the next few weeks, according to VNA. Foreigners will be able to access these systems to make registration once the English version is completed.

How to register for vaccination?

Option One: Via the Covid-19 vaccination portal: https://tiemchungcovid19.gov.vn/portal/register-person

Option Two: Via the E-health app for phones using Android and iOS that can be downloaded here: https://hssk.kcb.vn/#/sskdt.

To use the app, users must register with a phone number. After verifying their information, users will receive instructions for registering for their vaccination.

Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) coordinated with the Ministry of Health to vaccinate NGO foreign staff in Vietnam.

How does the registration work?

Data collected will be transferred to vaccination venues. The venues will screen registrants, confirm their information, and make a list of people to prioritize. Once registered, users will be notified as vaccines become available. They will be given an appointment for screening and will be informed about their vaccination schedule.

Each user will have a black and white QR code on their e-health record app. When people have received the first vaccine jab, the QR code color will turn yellow. When the second jab has been received, the color will turn green.

The QR code will replace paper vaccine certificates that people were granted earlier and a basis to create a vaccine passport in the future. The system is currently updating the data of those who have already been vaccinated so it may take a while for those who have previously been vaccinated to receive their online certificates.

However, the system would not prioritize early registration, said Nguyen Truong Nam, Deputy Head of the Information Technology Department of the Ministry of Health. People must provide information on which priority groups they are in. Based on that information, authorities will arrange vaccination schedules for each group.
