The first batch of UK's AstraZeneca vaccine is dedicated to front-line personnel in three localities: Hanoi, Hai Duong province and Ho Chi Minh city.

At 6:15 am, three boxes of AstraZeneca vaccine were transported to the Ho Chi Minh Tropical Disease Hospital from the Vietnam Vaccine JSC (VNVC).

At the same time in Hanoi, specialized vehicles also carried vaccines to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases 2, readying for inoculation. The entire procedure was carried out carefully to keep the vaccine refrigerated at the required temperature (2-8 degrees Celcius).

The first batch of 117,600 vaccine doses arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on a flight from Seoul on February 23, and after evaluating its quality, the health ministry approved the vaccination.

In April Vietnam will get another 1.3 million doses through Covax, a global mechanism for developing, manufacturing and procuring Covid-19 vaccines.

While the production of domestic vaccines is underway, the government has speeded up foreign procurement to inoculate prioritized groups.

It is negotiating with vaccine manufacturers in the U.S., Russia and some other countries to ensure it can obtain a total 150 million doses to cover 70 percent of the country’s population this year.

It has also approved the use of Moderna and Sputnik V vaccines, VNE reported.
