It is expected that the vaccination against Covid-19 in this batch will end in July 2021.

In addition, from now until the end of the third quarter, Vietnam will also receive an additional 2 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine ordered by the Ministry of Health through VNVC. In the third quarter, information from the pharmaceutical company Pfizer said that 3 million doses of vaccine can be shipped to Vietnam, the rest will be concentrated in the fourth quarter. However, the specific time and quantity may change due to dependents. of the world situation. According to Professor Dang Duc Anh, the COVID-19 vaccine has a very short shelf life, only about 6 months. Meanwhile, the time from the production facility to Vietnam takes about 2 months, so it only takes 3-4 months to deploy the injection. In particular, Pfizer’s vaccines must be stored at deep minus temperatures (-70 degrees Celsius). If the temperature is 2-8 degrees Celsius, this vaccine is only used for one month. Therefore, in the coming time, the Ministry of Health will coordinate with units of the Ministry of National Defense across the country to ensure the preservation and transportation of vaccines to the injection point in the shortest time. Up to this point, Vietnam has urgently approved four COVID-19 vaccines: AstraZeneca, Sputnik V, Sinopharm and Pfizer. Vietnam aims to have 150 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine this year for at least 70-80% of the population, to form herd immunity. However, only 4 batches of AstraZeneca’s vaccine have arrived in Vietnam with a total of nearly 2.9 million doses. Earlier, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long stated that Vietnam is facing the 4th wave of COVID-19 epidemic with the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 capable of spreading quickly and widely. The Vietnamese government is drastically directing epidemic prevention and control measures to soon stabilize the situation. One of Vietnam’s priorities in COVID-19 prevention is to have a COVID-19 vaccine early and to implement broader vaccination coverage for the population. Therefore, in parallel with efforts to find, negotiate and discuss with partners and vaccine manufacturers to bring vaccines to Vietnam, the Ministry of Health and related ministries and branches also focus on developing domestic vaccines to gradually ensure vaccine autonomy. At the same time, Vietnam also participates in COVAX’s global vaccine supply mechanism.

This is the third COVID-19 vaccine that has been urgently approved by Vietnam, after the AstraZeneca and Sputnik V vaccines. COVID-19 vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated is prepared as an injectable suspension, each dose of 0.5 ml contains 6.5U of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 antigen. The name of the production facility, the country of production is Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co.,Ltd. – China. This vaccine was licensed by China on December 24, 2020, and was urgently approved by WHO in May. The approval of the COVID-19 vaccine (Vero Cell) Inactivated serves an urgent need in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic with conditions attached. Specifically: The vaccine was approved based on safety, quality and effectiveness data provided by the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology to the Ministry of Health as of May 29, and the commitment of the Central Hygiene and Epidemiology Committee. about the accuracy of the documents provided to the Ministry of Health.

The Institute cooperates with the Department of Science, Technology and Training (Ministry of Health), and qualified units to organize the evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. The Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology cooperates with the National Institute for Accreditation of vaccines and medical biologicals to develop an inspection plan, to provide test samples, materials, testing chemicals and other related issues for customers. testing batches of these vaccines before they are put into use. The Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology is also the unit responsible for guiding the storage, distribution and use of this vaccine for vaccination facilities, and at the same time coordinating with relevant units in implementing risk management. for this vaccine during its circulation in Vietnam. The use of this vaccine must follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health.

Also according to Prof. Dr. Le Thi Quynh Mai, B.1.617.2 data on GISAID currently has not recorded the loss of Y144 mutation, so this mutation needs to be further monitored and studied. GISAID is an updated map of SARS-CoV-2 gene sequencing results, which is continuously updated by scientists around the globe. This map was consulted by scientists in different countries, closely following the evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Earlier, at the National Online Conference on the situation and urgent solutions to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic taking place on the morning of May 29, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long informed: The strain is currently common in Vietnam.
