Six million more doses of Covid-19 vaccines – half from the UK’s AstraZeneca and half from the US’s Pfizer – will arrive in Vietnam in the third quarter of this year, the Health Ministry announced.

Vietnam will receive about one million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine via the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access (Covax) Facility sometime between late June and early July, said Prof Dang Duc Anh, Director of the National Institute of Epidemiology and Hygiene.
