As Vietnamnet reported, it is necessary to speed up the implementation of the vaccination drive, with the goals of completing the injection of the booster shot for people aged from 18 in the first quarter of 2022, completing the 2nd injection for those aged 12-17 in March, preparing a vaccination campaign for children from 5-11 years old, and studying the administration of the fourth shot for adults and injection for children under 5 years old.

As the spirit of pandemic prevention and control is without precedent, so it does not need perfectionism, cannot be in a hurry, but need closely follow the situation to continue to learn from experience and make appropriate adjustments, he stressed.

According to Vn Express, the Ministry of Health is taking gradual steps toward treating those infected with Covid-19 like common patients as most of Vietnam's population have been fully vaccinated.

Heath Minister Nguyen Thanh Long told a meeting with the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control on Saturday that although the number of daily cases has been rising fast, the rate of hospitalization, severe cases and deaths have significantly dropped.

The health system remains in stable condition and has increased its capacity to resuscitate and treat severe cases.

According to a report by the Health Ministry, Vietnam has to date recorded nearly 4.06 million infections, of whom 2.59 million have fully recovered and 40,609 deaths.

As of March 3, Vietnam had received 218 million doses of vaccines of all kinds.
