According to a representative of an immunization unit, so far this facility has completed training, prepared shipping storage, and is ready to be vaccinated as soon as the vaccine returns to Vietnam. The expected date of importation of the vaccine is approximately the first quarter of 2021.
Among the imported vaccines, there are two COVID-19 vaccines that are provided: the regular-cost vaccine and the manufacturer-subsidized vaccine. In particular, the subsidized rate will be very cheap, but it is unclear how much will be allocated to Vietnam. And the type that is sold at a normal price, will cost about $ 50/2 injection course (that is, about 1.1 million / 2 injections).

He said that the COVID-19 vaccine is currently only enough to meet a small portion of the world’s needs. Therefore, the high-risk group, who work in industries prone to infection (health workers, tour guides …) and people with underlying diseases, are at risk of developing serious complications if they contract COVID-19. , injection will be given priority.
Regarding the registration form for COVID-19 vaccination, this unit is expected to organize the vaccination registration on the Internet, people in the high-risk group can provide information on the registration form to coordinate the vaccination in advance. .
In addition to importing vaccines, our country currently has 4 units developing the COVID-19 vaccine. Including Nanocovax products Nanogen was put into clinical trials with volunteers from 12/17. So far, all the volunteers who have been vaccinated have remained stable.
On December 17, the first three volunteers in Vietnam were vaccinated against the COVID-19 vaccine at the Military Medical Institute (Military Medical Academy). The three volunteers took turns injecting three doses of Nanocovax at a dose of 25 mcg. After the injection, the three people had no abnormal reactions and so far their health is stable.
According to Dr. Nguyen Ngo Quang, deputy director of the Department of Science, Technology and Training (Ministry of Health), phase 1 of the vaccine trial will have 60 volunteers to be vaccinated. There is no plan for the next stage of how many volunteers will be injected.
The vaccine company Nanogen plans to hire an independent monitoring organization to oversee the research process in order to comply with the research protocol, detect symptoms early, and ensure absolute safety for volunteers. . In particular, the research data collected must be objective, scientific and honest.
