HANOI, May 6 (Bernama): Vietnam’s Health Ministry will join hands with relevant ministries and sectors to study and recommend to the Government the suitable time to apply vaccine passports, with safety for locals being the overriding priority, said Deputy Health Minister Tran Van Thuan.
Vaccine passport only proves its efficacy until herd immunity is reached, which means around 70 per cent of the Vietnamese population get vaccinated, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) quoting Thuan said at the Government’s press conference on May 5.
Currently, no vaccines show 100 per cent protection against the SARS-CoV-2 variants, he said, highlighting competent authorities must have meticulous consideration before carrying out the vaccine passport.
