HANOI, March 12 (Vietnam News/ANN): Vietnam will continue to press ahead with the use of Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, a health official said on Friday, despite some negative reports of side effects of the drug.
Professor Dang Duc Anh, Director of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology and Chief of Vietnam’s National Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI), in charge of administering Covid-19 vaccines, made the remarks in the wake of several European countries’ recent temporary suspension of those vaccines to investigate rare blood clot complications.
