‘Vaccination set to begin next week’


THE Covid-19 vaccination will begin right after the health ministry receives an accreditation certificate from South Korea for the Covid-19 vaccine batch that arrived on Feb 24, which is due later this week or early next week.

Deputy Health Minister Truong Quoc Cuong made the announcement at the government’s regular press conference in Hanoi on Tuesday, in response to questions over vaccination progress after the first 117,600 doses of Oxford/AstraZeneca, manufactured in South Korea, bought commercially via Vietnam Vaccine Company, had arrived in Vietnam.
