HANOI - Vietnam s Covid-19 vaccination drive has been too slow in many areas, state media quoted the Health Minister as saying on Tuesday (Aug 3), as the South-east Asian nation battles its worst coronavirus outbreak yet.
Vietnam successfully contained the coronavirus for most of last year, but an outbreak driven by the Delta variant, infecting more than 160,000 people since late April, has increased pressure on the authorities for a faster vaccination roll-out.
