Japan to ship one million Covid-19 vaccines to Vietnam

TOKYO (Reuters): Japan will send a million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to Vietnam, Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said on Tuesday (June 15), as the southeast Asian nation steps up vaccine procurement to fight a more stubborn wave of infections.

With a population of about 98 million, Vietnam's tally of infections stands at 10,241, and only 58 deaths, since the pandemic began.
