Vietnam Vaccine JSC is keeping the very first Covid-19 vaccine doses in a freezer in Ho Chi Minh City while a specific vaccination plan is drawn up.
A container carrying the Covid-19 vaccine produced by AstraZeneca is delivered to the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) facility of Vietnam Vaccine JSC (VNVC), importer of Covid-19 vaccines to Vietnam.
Ten containers with 117,600 AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine doses arrived at the city’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport on Wednesday morning.
The vaccine doses are part of the first batch of 30 million ordered by Vietnam. The vaccine is developed by British-Swedish firm AstraZeneca in collaboration with Oxford University.
