Free COVID-19 vaccinations continue this year

This is part of the Ministry of Health's (MoH) recently issued plan on COVID-19 vaccine use for 2023, which aims to help localities determine their vaccine demand and develop and carry out their own vaccination plans.

The MoH said Vietnam has completed the administration of primary doses to people aged 12 and over and that in 2023, it is necessary to continue giving primary doses to those reaching the ages eligible for COVID-19 vaccination, along with booster shots.

The MoH will conduct vaccinations for groups of people according to WHO recommendations. Meanwhile, the administration of primary doses to children under five and other doses to those aged five and above will be guided by the MoH when there are sufficient scientific grounds and the disease situation requires it.
