Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has decided to add VND11.58 billion ($500,000) from the central budget reserve in 2021 to the Ministry of Health to make contributions to the COVAX (COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access) Facility.
Vietnam expects to have 3 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine and 3 million doses of Pfizer vaccine from now to September.
As planned, 1,682,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine provided by the Covax Facility arrived in Vietnam on May 16.
The first doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine produced in the Republic of Korea (RoK), will be injected into local people from March 8, said Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long at a meeting this morning.
