Where is Vietnam on the Covid-19 vaccination map?
Compared with neighboring countries such as Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, the rate of vaccination against Covid-19 in Vietnam is still low, accounting for only 0.86% of the population. Meanwhile, countries with high rates of people vaccinated are seeing a rapidly decreasing number of new cases each day.
In 2021 and early 2022, Vietnam plans to import vaccines from a number of sources: 39 million doses provided by Covax Facility, enough for 19.5 million subjects of priority; 30 million doses of AstraZeneca for 15 million people; the Health Ministry is under negotiation with Pfizer to buy 31 million doses this year or next year for 15.5 million people. In addition, Vietnam will get about 2 million additional doses from other organizations.
