At the meeting, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of meeting the goal to develop domestic vaccines. He also requested solutions for three issues namely mobilizing social resources, removing obstacles regarding mechanisms and regulations, and mobilizing human resources.
The Prime Minister said that the vaccination campaign must be proactive throughout many stages including purchasing, researching, transferring technology, producing vaccines, and conducting effective vaccination drives.
Vaccines should be treated as social products instead of commercial products. As such, all strategies and policies must be socially and commercially balanced.
Since this is a difficult task, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for great political will in accomplishing the goal. Otherwise, the lives of people will be at risk.
