Individuals and organisations can transfer their donations in Vietnamese dong, US dollar and euro to 15 accounts at the State Treasury and 4 banks, namely BIDV, Vietcombank, HDBank and Vietinbank.
In the northern province of Quang Ninh, a 76-year-old woman donated VND100 million (over US$4,300) to the vaccine fund, hoping to make her contribution alongside people across the country in the fight against Covid-19.
Many companies in the province have also donated billions of Vietnamese dong to the vaccine fund.
