Vaccination

One-third of Vietnam’s Covid-19 infections in the fresh outbreak are workers in industrial parks.

Some experts have said that it is not the right time to launch an outbound vaccine tour for Vietnamese travelers.

The Ministry of Finance estimates VND25.2 trillion (US$1.1 billion) is needed for vaccine purchase.

The hope is that the vaccination will allow for a full return to economic activity and recovery. When it comes to international tourism, the prospects for a quick recovery remain very uncertain.

Hanoi attains the highest inoculation rate nationwide in the first vaccination campaign.

The MoH is working with the COVAX to arrange for another shipment of 1.3 million doses to arrive at Vietnam in March.

Vietnam said it ensures budget for inoculation to as much locals as possible.

The country has approximately nine million of people or around 9% population living in poverty.
