According to the decision, the first COVID-19 vaccine allowed to be used in Vietnam is an injectable vaccine, each 0.5 ml dose, imported under the regulation of “urgent case in disease prevention”.
In the decision, the Ministry of Health assigned the Department of Preventive Medicine to develop an immunization plan, organize the implementation, guide and supervise during the vaccination process, and monitor the post-vaccination response. The National Institute for Vaccines and Medical Biologicals tests vaccines before they are put into use.
The vaccine is approved by Vietnam according to the standard two-dose injection regimen for adults 18 years of age and older, proven in clinical trials to be well tolerated and effective in preventing COVID-19 from showing symptoms.
In addition, the vaccination record also suggested that no hospitalizations or serious illness were recorded among those who received a second dose after 14 days. The COVID-19 vaccine is currently approved for emergency use in the EU, UK, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Vietnam will be able to buy 30 million doses gradually from early 2021.
