HANOI, July 9 ― Vietnam aims to vaccinate 50 per cent of people aged 18 or older by the end of this year and 70 per cent by the end of March, 2022, the health ministry said today, as tighter coronavirus curbs were imposed in more cities including the country's commercial hub.
Vietnam today began movement restrictions in its business powerhouse Ho Chi Minh City after imposing new curbs in the capital Hanoi after the country's daily infection rates hit record highs above 1,000 four times this month. “Vaccination against Covid-19 is a necessary and important measure to contain the disease and ensure socio-economic development,” the health ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said today it has clinched deals and commitments for 105 million coronavirus vaccine doses, which is lower that the 150 million figure it had stated previously.
