Vietnam aims to secure enough Covid-19 vaccines for its population starting next year through both local production and imports.
The Ministry of Health makes this proposal in the draft of a decision to be promulgated by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on developing Covid-19 vaccines.
It calls for speeding up research, trial and production of vaccines in Vietnam and tying up with foreign vaccine producers for either technology transfer or import.
