THE health minister has warned localities to use their Covax-supplied Covid-19 vaccine doses by May 5 or face having them redistributed.

Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said this during a meeting on Friday with all provinces and cities in the country regarding Covid-19 control and vaccination efforts, urging them to finish vaccinating priority groups before the deadline or the remaining unused doses would go somewhere else.
