The very first jabs of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine are administered to medical and other front-line workers on March 8 morning in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Duong.

In Hanoi, frontline workers at National Hospital for Tropical Diseases are the first to be granted such priority.

Dr. Vu Minh Dien, deputy director of the hospital’s center for pandemic prevention and vaccination, said 420 medical personnel would be immunized in the first phase.

"If possible, we will vaccinate all the hospital staff, but because the vaccine supply is limited and must be distributed to many other provinces, the highest priority is given to those who have direct contact with Covid patients and some medical staff in charge of screening patients."

Meanwhile, in Ho Chi Minh City, three boxes of vaccines (refrigerated at 2-8 degrees Celcius) were transported from the Vietnam Vaccine JSC’s super-cold storage to Ho Chi Minh Tropical Hospital at 7 am. 100 doctors and nurses on the prioritized list are expected to get the jabs in the morning.
