Previously, to meet the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has requested these cultural establishments to temporarily stop welcoming guests and serve readers.

Volunteers injecting experimental vaccine Covivac. Photo: General Writing Domestic vaccines can reach 20-30 million doses/year According to the Ministry of Health, so far, the country has two manufacturers researching and developing vaccines against Covid-19.
The Nanocovax vaccine of the Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company has been approved for a phase 3 clinical trial (TNLS). In the past few days, the Military Medical Academy has administered experimental injections to volunteers aged 18.
According to the research outline, phase 3 will test on about 13,000 volunteers in many provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Hung Yen, Long An, Tien Giang, etc. In the North, the Military Medical Academy will act as the focal point for deployment. at Military Medical Hospital 103 and Hung Yen province’s preventive health center deployed locally. The southern area will be professionally handled by the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, in collaboration with the preventive health centers of Long An and Tien Giang provinces.
At the Military Medical Academy, there are currently more than 6,000 volunteers registered to participate in the trial, of which more than 600 people have been screened and are eligible to participate. In the immediate future, in the first phase of the TNLS phase 3, the Military Medical Academy will test 1,000 people. According to the Military Medical Academy, before that, in stages 1 and 2 of the Nano Covax vaccine trial, 100% of people who injected immunity were protected against the attack of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In the phase 3 trial, the Nano Covax vaccine was administered to volunteers from 18 years of age, and there was no maximum age limit for the trial participants. Currently, the oldest person to register for TNLS injection phase 3 is 83 years old. Nano Covax vaccine will also be administered to volunteers with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes (stable disease, do not inject during acute phase) to evaluate the results of immunogenicity. fluid, post-injection reaction… The results of the phase 3 clinical trial are the basis for the Ministry of Health to grant emergency permits and widely inject people to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, which is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Earlier, during a working visit to the Military Medical Academy, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue asked the Military Medical Academy to continue to closely coordinate with relevant ministries and sectors to urgently accelerate the implementation of clinical trials. Preparing phase 3 of Nanocovax vaccine, striving for early results to have a preventive vaccine for the community. However, when manufacturing, vaccines must ensure superiority in antibody generation time, with the shortest number of days; minimize side effects to a minimum, especially for people with weak health and underlying diseases; at the same time, must be able to resist and destroy future mutations. In addition, the COVIVAC vaccine of the Nha Trang Institute of Vaccines and Biologicals, is currently in the first phase of the TNLS and is about to be transferred to the second phase of research in Thai Binh.
According to the Ministry of Health, the COVIVAC vaccine is expected to produce about 6 million doses per year and can increase capacity when invested. Meanwhile, with the Nanocovax vaccine, which is expected to produce about 20-30 million doses per year, Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company can increase its capacity when invested.
A vaccine is coming soon that only requires one dose
Information from the Department of Science and Technology (Ministry of Health), a Vietnamese enterprise has discussed and negotiated with the US manufacturer on conditions for transferring technology to produce Covid-19 vaccine from mRNA essence. It is known that this vaccine only needs to be injected with a single dose of 5 mg, has high protection (based on the results of TNLS phase 1, 2), has a storage temperature of 20 – 80 degrees Celsius, currently the vaccine has been tested. end of trial phase 1, 2).
The first factory following the manufacturer’s technology standards will increase the capacity of 100-200 million doses/year, and is expected to start production from the end of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the No. 1 Vaccine and Biological Products Company Limited (VABIOTECH) is also negotiating with a Japanese partner to receive the transfer of vaccine production technology to Vietnam. In addition, VABIOTECH signed an agreement with the Direct Investment Fund of the Russian Federation on the closure of Sputnik-V Covid-19 vaccine tubes from semi-finished products with a scale of 5 million doses/month starting from July 2021. , towards transferring production technology with the scale of 100 million doses/year.
According to Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long, vaccines are an important weapon to bring life back to normal. Therefore, the Politburo has a policy on import, research, production and technology transfer for vaccines. Along with creating maximum conditions and quickly solving procedures for businesses and localities to import vaccines, Vietnam also promotes research and domestic production of vaccines. Vietnam is one of the first four countries in the world to isolate the SARS-CoV-2 virus, paving the way for research and production of vaccines, and many positive prospects for people to soon receive domestic vaccines. In addition, the Ministry of Health has worked with many foreign partners, negotiated to buy vaccine copyrights, transfer technology so that Vietnam can get the vaccine as soon as possible and be independent in the source of vaccines used in the country.
Recently, the Ministry of Health has negotiated with Johnson & Johnson Corporation with the hope that this unit will transfer technology to set up a vaccine factory in Vietnam. According to Minister Nguyen Thanh Long, many large corporations in Vietnam want to participate in the global vaccine supply chain. Vietnam is also one of more than 40 countries that can produce vaccines for the vaccination needs of the people, so the vaccine production experience of Vietnamese factories is guaranteed. Vietnam’s national vaccine management system (NRA) has also been certified as meeting standards by the World Health Organization (WHO). Johnson & Johnson’s side commits that after working with the Ministry of Health, it will make efforts to implement solutions to speed up the supply process through the COVAX mechanism, so that Vietnam can have Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine as soon as possible. However, Minister Nguyen Thanh Long also said that, to ensure vaccine security, one of the very important issues is to ensure a sustainable financial source for vaccines. Therefore, the Minister wishes that the community, authorities and businesses continue to support the Vaccine Fund. Vietnam has self-produced many vaccines and put them into the expanded vaccination program, contributing to the eradication and repelling of many dangerous diseases. This is the premise for the successful production of a Covid-19 vaccine. In fact, the research and production of vaccines against Covid-19 faces many difficulties and challenges, but this is the inevitable path we must go if we want to actively supply vaccines to serve the people. Over the past time, the Ministry of Health and State management agencies have created all conditions for administrative procedures for units to conduct vaccine production in the most favorable way. We can fully expect a “made in Vietnam” vaccine because at the moment, everything is going well.

Senior Advisor of the Center for Emergency Response to Public Health Events, Assoc. Tran Dac Phu The success of a vaccine depends not only on the manufacturer, researcher, and manager, but also on the social community. Therefore, we call for the cooperation of society, all people with the health sector to have a clinical trial research program, first of all, to be safe and effective to have a product soon. vaccines produced by Vietnam for the community.

Disinfectant spray at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City Photo: Uyen Phuong Translation in Ho Chi Minh City is very complex Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc said that there are currently 7 enterprises in industrial parks (IZs) in Ho Chi Minh City with COVID-19 cases. Most of the places have only 1-2 cases, there is no sign of spreading to other places. At the bridge point in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that after the first 15 days, the epidemic situation in the city was still “very complicated”; There are still some chains discovered in the community. “However, in terms of epidemiology, we have a chance to control the chains of infection,” said the Deputy Health Minister. In Ho Chi Minh City, a number of aquatic and seafood processing factories have a very high density of workers, in a cold and closed environment, so the number of cases is higher (6-11 cases). It is expected that Ho Chi Minh City will set up about 100 delegations to inspect all factories and enterprises operating in the industrial park. Large factories and enterprises need to have a plan to arrange accommodation for the core workers, in the industrial park or a closed process from accommodation, dormitory, to the factory to work, live and bring. about. The deputy minister said that currently, Ho Chi Minh City has prepared a treatment plan for 5,000 patients, but needs to prepare more equipment to treat patients on ventilators, with severe developments. Do not “circle but loose”! That is the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam for Ho Chi Minh City. He emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a big city, the authorities and people have gone through the practical process of fighting the epidemic, so the decisions on social distancing, isolation and blockade must be in the spirit of trying to be as concise as possible. . The purpose of social distancing is to slow the spread of the epidemic, identify outbreaks, sources of infection, and scale, to narrowly, tightly, and strive not to prolong the situation. widespread social distancing. Ho Chi Minh City has passed 14 days of social distancing, must urgently investigate the epidemiology, classify the areas considered safe or have a solution after continuing to implement some measures that are determined to be safe. to loosen. “On the contrary, the areas at risk must be tightened even more, not to the situation of mass concentration as reflected by the people; clearly define public areas not to gather large numbers of people; control traffic flows from outbreak areas in the city. The spirit is not equal to everything, because we have to serve dual goals, even in fighting the epidemic. If the area is wide but not tight inside, it will not only affect the economy and society, but it will also be very difficult to fight the epidemic,” the Deputy Prime Minister requested. Pilot guide to isolating F1 cases at home For industrial zones, the Deputy Prime Minister asked Ho Chi Minh City to “keep up with strong measures”. The city needs to increase testing and warning to quickly detect infections in the first 3 days. “Although Ho Chi Minh City’s testing capacity is very good compared to other provinces, with a population of 10 million people and many industrial zones, the city must have a plan to increase testing capacity in case the epidemic occurs in the industrial zone. In particular, the coordination of testing must ensure consistency among the testing units, meeting the sampling rate, tracing to catch up with the spread of the epidemic, absolutely not allowing the testing situation to be interrupted. slow, mistaken due to coordination work as happened in some places,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted. In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to urgently complete the pilot guidance on isolating F1 cases at home, ensuring strict medical safety as well as people’s privacy, in accordance with the conditions of the city. in situations where a large number of people are infected. Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that from June 18, Ho Chi Minh City will pilot self-testing samples and carry out F1 isolation at home. At the same time, a review will be organized to ensure safety in the concentrated isolation area and prevent cross-infection; strengthen the review outside the community, industrial zones. According to the Ministry of Health, on June 17, Vietnam recorded 515 new cases. In which, there are 12 isolated cases immediately after entry and 503 cases recorded domestically in Bac Giang (327), Ho Chi Minh City (137), Tien Giang (13), Bac Ninh (12), Binh Duong (7), Ha Tinh (4), Lang Son (2), Nghe An (1). Of the 503 cases, 495 were detected in an isolation ward or a blockade. Stop cross-infection in concentrated isolation khu Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong said that hot spots around industrial zones in Viet Yen have been cleared and cleaned. New infections appeared mainly in 25/286 concentrated isolation areas for workers of Hosiden Company. At this point, Bac Giang province will continue to expand the density in concentrated isolation areas with new infections according to high-risk groups (1 person/room), medium risk (2-3 people/room), high-risk low (4 people/room). Bac Giang classifies concentrated isolation areas according to red (with new cases for 2 consecutive days or 1 day with many cases), yellow (with cases of infection), blue (no cases of infection), to focus on inspection and key surveillance, limiting cross-infection, etc. Up to now, Bac Giang has 123 factories with about 20,000 workers returning to work in the industrial park. Enterprises strictly comply with the regulations on epidemic prevention and control in the direction that the workers of any enterprise will stay together, eat together, work together in shifts and crews. So 3 companies detected 9 cases but did not lead to widespread spread. Bac Giang has a permanent monitoring department for epidemic prevention and control in the industrial park. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked Bac Giang province to focus on expanding the density in concentrated isolation areas with cases to stop cross-infection.

Van Don International Airport ensures the process of picking up flights to bring Vietnamese citizens home and immigration experts. After 7 days of concentrated isolation, people on entry will continue to isolate at home for a full 7 days and monitor their health for the next 14 days. Subjects who have entered the country but have not received the full dose of the vaccine will be quarantined for 14 days and monitored for 14 days. Diplomats and high-ranking public officials are regulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to quarantine at home for 14 days. The new isolation plan also promotes medical isolation monitoring through the application of information technology. Each person entering will be given 1 phone sim or 1 smart bracelet with VHD or Bluezone installed. During the quarantine period, people entering the country are required to do facial or voice recognition 3 times a day at 3 certain time frames, make daily medical declarations and update if there are any unusual developments. The functional units at the border gate, the Steering Committees for Covid-19 prevention and control in localities with centralized isolation facilities, and the Departments of Health of the provinces and cities have closely coordinated throughout the process from reception. information about people on entry, entry process, transportation, quarantine. Since the beginning of 2020, Quang Ninh province has welcomed more than 200 flights to bring Vietnamese citizens and foreign experts to enter through Van Don International Airport. Smooth. Based on the comments of Quang Ninh province, the Ministry of Health will continue to finalize the plan of medical isolation for Covid-19 prevention and control for people on entry, pilot implementation for people on entry. At Van Don International Airport, it is expected that from July 1, experience will be drawn and replicated nationwide.

According to Lieutenant Colonel, Associate Professor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men, Director of the Center for Clinical Trials and Bioequivalence, Military Medical Academy, phase 3 injected the Nano Covax vaccine to 13,000 people and administered only a single dose group injection. at least 25 mcg and the placebo injection group. Specifically, according to the protocol approved by the Ministry of Health, the first 1,000 trial injectors of the first phase of phase 3, the volunteers are injected with the ratio of “6 people vaccinated, 1 person injected placebo”. The remaining 12,000 people injected according to the ratio “2 people vaccinated, 1 person injected placebo”. It is expected that the first phase of phase 3 will be conducted by the Military Medical Academy and the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City with 1,000 volunteers, each with 500 people. Vietnam’s first COVID-19 vaccine tested in phase 3 on humans. Regarding the reason for choosing the dose group of 25 mcg, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men said that testing at 3 dose levels of 25-50-75 mcg showed that the vaccine was safe on volunteers, capable of generating immunity in 3 doses. There was no difference in dose groups. Therefore, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research, Ministry of Health decided to only inject 1 optimal dose of 25 mcg at this stage. Phase 3 is implemented in many centers in the country: The North is deployed by the Military Medical Academy as the focal point at Military Medical Hospital 103, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Center of Hung Yen province to deploy locally; In the South, the Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute is the focal point to deploy, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Centers of Long An and Tien Giang provinces to deploy locally. After the phase 1 and phase 2 trials, the Nano Covax vaccine is judged to be quite safe, so the criteria for recruiting volunteers will be relaxed more than the previous two phases. 13,000 volunteers participating in phase 3, aged 18-75 years old, only need to check their blood count and check for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or already have antibodies will be excluded from the test population. As of June 11, more than 6,500 volunteers have registered to test the Nano Covax vaccine against COVID-19 phase 3. Senior Colonel, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Anh Son, Deputy Director of the Military Medical and Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Military Medical Academy added: “It is expected that by mid-September 2021, after about 42 days of the second injection. In two of the first 1,000 experimental injections, we will summarize the results of the quality assessment to report. If it is favorable, we will submit the dossier and propose the Government, the Ministry of Health, and the National Ethical Council in the study. In parallel with that process, the unit will continue to test the Nano Covax vaccine on 12,000 volunteers to continue to control the experimental injection and evaluate the effectiveness. protective power of vaccines”. During the testing process and after the antibody sample is available, the Military Medical Academy will coordinate with the Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, the testing units to conduct the assessment of the ability to neutralize the SARS-CoV virus. -2 in the laboratory for existing virus strains to determine the development direction of vaccine research in the coming period. Through discussions with the expert group of Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, in addition to recombinant protein technology, there are other technologies for research and production of vaccines. Nanogen as well as many Vietnamese scientists are very interested in mRNA technology – which has been of great interest to the world in recent years. This technology has the advantage of reacting very quickly to the disease, quickly getting a vaccine. According to available information, vaccines produced by this technology are very safe for human use. More information about the phase 3 trial, Lieutenant General, Prof. Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, said that this trial phase is designed according to the adaptive design method, continuing to inject the experimental vaccine. trial and placebo group; health assessment at the time of the first injection, the second dose (done on the 28th day), the 35th day and the 42nd day after injection. The Director of the Military Medical Academy expressed confidence in the safety of the Nano Covax vaccine with the results achieved through the previous two testing phases. Specifically, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies after the phase 2 trial injection showed that the antibody titre increased very high, from tens to hundreds of times. After the second injection, the volunteers had a physical examination (blood test, blood pressure measurement…) once a week to assess the amount of antibodies appearing in the body; then continue to be monitored for 6 months to get information, assess health as well as immunity ability. Up to now, 100% of volunteers who have been vaccinated with Nano Covax vaccine have produced antibodies in the blood. – Phase I (December 2020), the COVID-19 vaccine Nano Covax was administered to 60 volunteers. – Phase II (February 2021) injected over 554 people. From phase 2, the trial was conducted both at the Military Medical Academy and the Medical Center of Ben Luc district – Long An province (by the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City).

Illustration. At the meeting of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control on the afternoon of June 11, Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan informed that the Ministry of Health had officially approved the phase 3 clinical trial of the vaccine. Vietnam’s first COVID-19 room named Nano Covax. According to Deputy Minister Tran Van Thuan, the Ministry of Health has just approved the phase 3 clinical trial of Nano Covax vaccine of Nanogen Company. According to Lieutenant Colonel, Assoc. Dr. Chu Van Men – Director of the Center for Clinical Trials and Bioequivalence, Military Medical Academy, Ministry of National Defense, phase 3 injected the Nano Covax vaccine to 13,000 people and injected only a single dose group. 25 mcg and placebo injection group (with a ratio of “6 people vaccinated to 1 person injecting placebo” according to the design approved by the Ministry of Health). As for the reason for choosing the 25 mcg dose group, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men said that when the phase 2 trial showed that, the 3 dose levels of 25-50-75 mcg had equivalent safety and immunogenicity. undifferentiated. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and increase the effectiveness of the number of doses of vaccine production, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research, the Ministry of Health decided to inject only 1 optimal dose of 25 mcg at the initial stage. this. Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long and Minister of National Defense Phan Van Giang asked and encouraged volunteers to test the vaccine against COVID-19 Nano Covax. Photo: PV. On June 11, the Military Medical Academy said that this unit has started to deploy the phase 3 trial injection of the COVID-19 Nano Covax vaccine for the first 19 volunteers. On the day of injection for 200 people, divided into 2 groups. Accordingly, one group injected the Nano Covax vaccine with a dose of 25mcg, the other group injected a placebo with aluminum excipients. Military medical students will inject 1,000 volunteers in the first time. According to the research outline, phase 3 will test on about 13,000 volunteers in many provinces such as Hanoi, Hung Yen, Long An, Tien Giang… At the Military Medical Academy, there are currently more than 7,000 volunteers registered to participate in the trial, of which more than 600 people have been screened and are eligible to participate. Besides, IVAC’s Covivac vaccine is also preparing to complete phase 1 trial and enter phase 2 in July 2021. Regarding the subjects of vaccination, according to Deputy Minister Tran Van Thuan, in addition to the priority subjects for COVID-19 vaccination under Resolution 21, the Ministry of Health has added workers in industrial zones and will propose more subjects working in establishments dealing in essential goods.

Thanh Nhan Hospital deploys AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine for medical staff. Accordingly, this number of vaccines is distributed by the Hanoi Department of Health to districts, towns. Districts, towns and cities have prepared to deploy the third phase of Covid-19 vaccination according to the plan of the Ministry of Health and the guidance of the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. It is expected that the vaccination against Covid-19 in this batch will end in July 2021. The Covid-19 vaccine in the 3rd and 4th waves will focus on giving the first dose to priority subjects in the spirit of Resolution 21/NQ-CP of the Government, that is, people working in medical facilities. health (medical staff working at domestic and non-public health facilities have not been vaccinated); participants in epidemic prevention and control; staff directly participating in service at concentrated isolation areas; members of the City’s Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control, the Health Sector Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control, the Steering Committees at all levels and branches; Community Covid-19 Team members have not been vaccinated… In addition, those who have received the 1st dose will be given the 2nd dose after being given the next round of vaccines (batches 5 and 6). Priority subjects received 1 dose of vaccine and the interval between 2 injections was at least 8 weeks. Tran Thi Nhi Ha, Director of the Hanoi Department of Health, said that Hanoi puts vaccination safety first. Districts, towns need to proactively arrange safe vaccination points and strengthen inspection and supervision of vaccination points, ensuring full compliance with the vaccination process as prescribed by the Ministry of Health. Previously, Hanoi deployed the first phase of Covid-19 vaccination for more than 8,400 people and the second phase for more than 53,000 people.

All of these vaccines are allocated to priority subjects according to Resolution 21 and localities with industrial parks. Vaccines for COVID-19. Photo: Times of India. 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.

Ho Chi Minh City can now actively source, buy and import Covid-19 vaccines (Artwork). On June 15, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam agreed with the proposal of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on the purchase and import of Covid-19 vaccine. At the same time, the Deputy Prime Minister asked the organization, implementation and communication to avoid the situation of buying and pushing up vaccine prices. Regarding the implementation of vaccination against Covid-19, the Government has issued Resolution No. 21/NQ-CP dated February 26, which contains content on encouraging eligible units to organize voluntary vaccination for children. requested organizations and individuals. The Ministry of Health is responsible for licensing, testing and quality control of vaccines according to regulations; direct and guide the vaccination according to the required schedule, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Previously, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City submitted a report to the Prime Minister, stating: Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has over 7.2 million people aged 18 and over; there are over 1.6 million workers and workers working at enterprises and corporations in industrial parks. However, so far, Ho Chi Minh City has only received 140,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and deployed the first dose of vaccination to more than 64,000 people and more than 10,000 people injected with two doses. To achieve the goal of herd immunity with over 70% of the population of Ho Chi Minh City being vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible, the purchase of a vaccine against Covid-19 is an urgent matter. The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City proposed to the Prime Minister to allow businesses in the city to actively negotiate to source vaccines from reputable manufacturers and distributors in the world, to be imported or exported. hire businesses with the function of importing vaccines to import Covid-19 vaccines to Vietnam. After the vaccine is licensed by the Ministry of Health, imported to Vietnam and quarantined to ensure quality, the Prime Minister is requested to allow businesses to sign contracts to hire units with the function of vaccination to deploy. vaccination for all officers and employees of the enterprise on the principle of ensuring safety, quality and price of vaccination services according to the contract agreed between the enterprise and the vaccination unit. At a meeting with the Ho Chi Minh City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control on June 14, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen also said that the National Steering Committee for Disease Prevention and Control had opened a favorable mechanism. the most favorable for localities to access vaccine resources. Ho Chi Minh City has also established a working group to buy and inject Covid-19 vaccines, which is coordinated by Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc.

Illustration GS. Dr. Truong Viet Dung, Chairman of the National Ethics Council in Biomedical Research, said in the SK & DS newspaper, in phase 3, the subjects of the Nano Covax vaccine trial in Vietnam will expand. The object here means the area, which can be extended to other areas such as workers in industrial zones. However, areas or industrial zones with COVID-19 cases were not selected for clinical trials because it would be interpreted as the epidemic situation that made people too worried and accepted to participate in the research. Therefore, research can only be carried out in industrial zones at risk of disease outbreaks, not in industrial zones with epidemics. Testing participants for COVID-19 to confirm the absence of antibodies is required. In the spirit of “testing as quickly as possible” of the Government, the Ministry of Health assigned testing units. Fast does not mean cutting, skipping stages. Any stage must comply with international requirements and standards. Do it very quickly but must be very standard, giving it to the Council must be approved immediately. In general, in accordance with the process and step by step of each phase, so that the Ministry of Health has enough scientific basis to be able to grant urgent and conditional use of Nano Covax vaccine in Vietnam. Information on Vietnam plus, Deputy Director of Military Medical Research Institute Ho Anh Son said that according to the latest information, it is possible that as soon as next week (expected in early June 2021) will enter vaccine research. Nano Covax phase 3 with the expected number of volunteers to participate is about 13,000 people. In phase 3, the implementation is very fast, following the correct process, and at the same time meeting the needs of disease control in Vietnam. Up to now, the Military Medical Academy has mobilized a lot of doctors, technicians, students… to participate in the testing process so that it can be ready for deployment in 10 provinces/cities across the country at the same time. country. After testing phase 1 and phase 2, Nano Covax vaccine is quite safe, so the criteria for recruiting volunteers will be relaxed more than the previous 2 phases. Volunteers participating in phase 3 from 18-75 years old, only need to check the blood count and check for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or already have antibodies will be excluded from the test population. More about the phase 3 trial, Lieutenant General, Professor-Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, Ministry of National Defense said that he believes in the safety of the Nano Covax vaccine with the results achieved. through the previous two phases of testing. According to the Director of the Military Medical Academy, immunogenicity is reflected in two main factors: antibody concentration and antibody immunogenicity. Specifically, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies after injection of the phase 2 trial showed a very high increase in antibody titres, from tens to hundreds of times. Antibody immunogenicity to assess the ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 virus living at the 35th day of good response, above the prescribed threshold. As for the ability to neutralize the virus at day 42, the team has now evaluated 22/110 samples; expected to be completed in early June 2021 to report to the National Ethics Council in Biomedical Research. Phase 3 aims to evaluate the protective effect of the vaccine on the community, designed in many centers, expanding to other localities with a larger number of samples with only 1 injection. Based on the results of the evaluation, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research selected the experimental injection of 25mcg dose. Strictly following international guidelines, the National Ethical Council for Biomedical Research also identified a phase 3 trial in 10,000 people. Military Medical Academy complies with the approved outline and deploys to recruit volunteers.

Assoc. Prof, Dr. Tran Quy Tuong, Director of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Health, said that technology solutions are the optimal choice for the current epidemic prevention and control in quickly tracking F0, setting up F0. list F1, F2. Bac Giang and Bac Ninh are two hot epidemic centers when the epidemic enters the industrial zone. The number of cases is increasing day by day, there is no sign of cooling down, the ratio F1 to F0 is very large. The Ministry of Health has mobilized more than 2,000 health workers and is continuing to mobilize to support these two provinces. According to Mr. Tran Quy Tuong, for the current epidemic prevention and control, it is very important to quickly trace F0 and make a list of F1, F2 to control the spread of the disease. For areas with a small number of cases, medical staff and other forces can be traced. However, when the number of cases increases greatly, there will not be enough human resources to carry out direct contact tracing in the area. And at this time, the technology solution is the optimal choice. Regarding electronic tracing, we currently have two main data sources, which are from the Bluezone application and the Medical Declaration Management Information System. Bluezone allows to record close contacts between smart mobile phones that install and use Bluezone. The medical declaration management information system includes medical declaration information, travel schedules and travel history to places of people. In order to quickly track down, the Information Technology Department has supported Bac Giang and Bac Ninh to apply information technology in epidemic prevention and control. Mr. Tran Quy Tuong said that in Bac Ninh, the Department of Information and Communications advised the Provincial Steering Committee to set up an Information Analysis Team to analyze data sources, propose tracing, testing and assessment. assess the risk of spread, make timely recommendations in disease prevention and control. The messaging system was built to quickly and promptly deploy the instructions of the Provincial Steering Committee to members of the Community Covid Team. For workers, the Management Board of Industrial Parks has coordinated with the Department of Information and Communications to develop information management software for all workers in industrial parks, helping to manage, monitor and trace quickly when there are cases in industrial zones; and provide timely data for direction and administration. According to statistics from the Medical Declaration Management Information System, the total number of medical declarations in Bac Ninh up to June 1 was 1,059,179. In Bac Giang, in the face of complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, on May 22, 2021, the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province issued a launching document and asked all people in the province to declare 2nd time to help authorities monitor and manage cases with epidemiological factors, and promptly detect people suspected of being infected with Covid-19. After three days, there were 456,080 medical declarations recorded in the system out of a total of 881,400 medical declarations of the whole province. On May 22, with the support of the Information Technology Department, the Ministry of Health, the province established an electronic monitoring and tracing team consisting of 15 members from the Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control of the province and the province. group. The members of the Team have been given accounts and trained to exploit data from the Medical Declaration Management Information System for monitoring and tracing. As of June 1, 2021, the Team has made 3,976 calls for people to declare health with symptoms or epidemiological factors, instruct people on measures to prevent and control the epidemic suitable for each person or transfer information for commune and district levels to verify and handle directly. Especially based on the system’s information, the Team has detected 66 F1 cases currently isolated at home and has transferred the information to the district level for management according to regulations. On May 29, 2021, the Ministry of Health issued Decision No. 2666/QD-BYT on the issuance of Guidelines for the use of medical declaration and close contact detection applications for the prevention and control of the covid epidemic. -19, one of the important purposes of this decision is to support the implementation of electronic medical declarations to help manage, monitor health and detect cases early for effective disease prevention and control. Covid-19. If people and agencies and units strictly follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health, when there is a case of F0, the tracking and listing of F1, F2 will be very quick and timely.

Duy Son – Ho Chi Minh City Texas Medical Association, USA In essence, SARS-CoV-2 is still transmitted from F0 to F1 and F2 by respiratory droplets in the form of droplets and contact with objects contaminated with the virus. The virus can survive on surfaces such as chair armrests, toilet doorknobs, etc. If we touch, then lift, eyes, nose, mouth, we can be infected with the virus. In particular, new strains of the virus can spread in the air, so in crowded places and closed environments such as bars, discos, and industrial parks, the risk of nCoV infection is very high. According to the scale of the expert group on Covid-19 and the Committee on Infectious Diseases, of the Texas Medical Association, USA, daily living activities are divided into 5 risk groups. In which, going to the bar, karaoke, discotheque, massage; attending religious ceremonies and events > 500 people; to the sports stadium; Attendance at a large concert is ranked as the highest risk of infection (9/10 scale). Going to the movies, going to the amusement park, going to the gym, eating the buffet are also high risk, on a scale of 8/10. Places in the medium-high risk category include: Barbers, restaurants, weddings, funerals, airplanes, soccer fields, and hugging, kissing or shaking hands when meeting friends. The average risk group includes: Having dinner at someone else’s house, having a barbecue, going to the beach, shopping at the mall, camping, working in the office continuously for 1 week, swimming pool, visiting home relatives, friends. Low-medium risk groups include: Going to the market, grocery shopping; go for a walk, walk or bike ride with other people; play golf; two nights in a hotel; sitting in waiting room for medical examination; libraries and museums; walking in crowded places… Activities with the lowest risk of virus infection are: Opening parcels and parcels; buy takeaway food; pump; playing tennis; camp. In the face of the rapid spread of the new strain, the majority of Covid-19 patients have no symptoms, we should protect ourselves by limiting gatherings in crowded places, complying with the 5K regulations of the Ministry of Health. .

On May 26, 2021, the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province issued Official Dispatch No. 2429/UBND-KTTH to tighten the management and operation of concentrated quarantine areas. Notably, the Provincial People’s Committee requires the managers of the isolation areas to make daily information reports according to the electronic form at https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/xRoqPfBA and send it to the medical offices district health for CDC Bac Giang province to synthesize and handle. This is one of the stages of collecting extremely necessary information that the isolation team of the Special Standing Department of the Ministry of Health has advised and proposed for Bac Giang province on hot epidemic days. Currently in Bac Giang there are more than 200 concentrated KCLs, of which 174 KCLs are in operation. Before the electronic form, the manager used a handwritten report, had to fill in a lot of information, so when KCL employees were busy, tired, there was a constant state of yes and no, causing problems. Compiling daily reports is extremely difficult and messy. The electronic ballot form has overcome all these disadvantages. An electronic report form at the KCL of Bien Son Secondary School, Luc Ngan district Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoang, Researcher of Occupational Diseases of Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health – Ministry of Health, who is directly in charge of technical, supporting and transferring electronic information form to CDC Bac Giang expressed interest: “I have pre-installed all the required information fields to report, the manager just has to select and fill in the latest number. In addition, there is a separate box to add suggestions and recommendations on what the KCL manager considers necessary. They only take 2-3 minutes, and can use any device such as smartphones, laptops, ipads… just have 3G signal to complete the ticket.” The forms included all the parameters that need to be captured such as KCL capacity, number of rooms, number of people/room, number of positive cases, number of times tested, number of people in and out of the day. Even more specific information such as whether the quarantined subjects are children or adults, workers or locals, foreigners, working inside or outside the province… Not only that, through this form, the Provincial Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control can also capture specific information about the number of medical officers and staff serving at each KCL. Dr. Minh Hoang confided about the origin of this form: “In fact, the modules used in this form come from the KoboToolbox software, serving to collect information from aid experts and researchers. This is open source software, from which I can change the information to be collected under the direction of the Quarantine Monitoring Team.” Significant improvement in reporting quality in isolation wards According to Dr. Nguyen Dinh Trung, Head of the Department of Occupational Diseases – Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health – Ministry of Health, the results of collecting KCL report samples have just been available since May 26 (after the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province requested the approval of the Ministry of Health). (requires KCL managers to report), however, there have been marked improvements. The number of electronic report cards is increasing day by day, as of yesterday (May 28), there were 123 KCL reports, and today nearly 100% of KCL have fully reported each day. In just 3 days, 100% of the electronic report forms were sent back from KCL. The aggregation of data from these reports also helps the CDC in Bac Giang province easily manage and fully grasp information, thereby advising the Bac Giang Provincial Epidemic Prevention and Control Committee to make necessary adjustments such as stretching density, arrangement, arrangement of equipment, improvement of inadequate stages… Dr. Nguyen Dinh Trung added: “Currently, the isolation monitoring team under the Special Standing Department of the Ministry of Health is still closely following the Bac Giang CDC to make the necessary adjustments right in the form.” Another problem is that here in the province, there are hundreds of companies and enterprises that want to return to operation. The province’s establishment of 35 assessment teams may only be an immediate solution and difficult to maintain in the long term, with such a large number of enterprises. It is known that the isolation monitoring team under the Special Standing Department of the Ministry of Health is also working to come up with electronic assessment forms to enable businesses to quickly and fully declare the requirements to ensure room safety. fight against COVID-19. Based on that, the leaders of Bac Giang province will quickly grasp and make timely and appropriate adjustments and adjustments. “We will complete and propose and advise Bac Giang province on this issue. These are new forms of electronic report cards that have appeared in the urgent situation of epidemic prevention in Bac Giang, but can be widely applied in many fields and in many different localities. more.

Tokyo’s overlapping messages have drawn criticism, as the country lags behind countries like the US in vaccinations. Japan has recorded about 695,000 new coronavirus infections and 12,000 deaths. The country is facing a new wave of infections in the context of the Tokyo Olympics approaching. Many Japanese prefectures are still in a state of emergency to limit the spread. Tokyo has contracts with three suppliers, under which it will have 120 million doses of AstraZeneca, 50 million doses of Moderna (to be completed by the end of September) and is negotiating an additional 50 million doses, along with 194 doses of Pfizer calculated. until the end of this year. With this number, Japan will have enough vaccine to vaccinate the entire population of 126 million people, according to Japan Times . On May 21, the country approved the use of the Moderna vaccine for people 18 years of age and older, but AstraZeneca has not yet been approved for the public. The Japanese government’s vaccination program is using the Pfizer vaccine, while the Moderna vaccine will be rolled out from next week in Tokyo and Osaka. Many concerns when using vaccines The biggest barrier to new vaccine doses available in Japan is the screening process, which evaluates efficacy and safety based on clinical trial data. Like other covid-19 vaccines, doses of AstraZeneca are classified as an emergency measure in pandemic response in Japan, used only when the Health Ministry allows the city governments. The licensing action requires a separate approval process, which includes a subcommittee on vaccines from the Ministry of Health meeting to discuss the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in Japan in a broader context based on: fruit; alternatives from Pfizer and Moderna; Japanese immunization schedule and potential side effects. Pfizer’s covid-19 vaccine is shipped in Tokyo, Japan, February 16. Photo: AP. However, the road to deploying vaccines in the real world is still fraught with thorns, due to growing concerns about potential side effects of vaccines. There have been reports of a small number of people receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine developing blood clots, including in some cases death. This condition usually occurs in younger age groups. The UK reported 79 cases of AstraZeneca vaccination at the end of March, out of 20.2 million doses administered. As a result, 19 people died, of which 11 were under the age of 50. This has led some countries to restrict vaccination of the elderly – a direction that seems unlikely for Japan. The plan is still open Japan has given the Pfizer vaccine to the elderly and will start providing the Moderna vaccine at mass vaccination sites on May 24. The country has guaranteed enough doses for more than 122 million people, of which more than 110 million people aged 16 and over are allowed to receive the vaccine. Vaccination site for people 65 and older in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan on April 12. Photo: Kyodo. Given that Japan already has sufficient supplies for the vaccination campaign for the elderly, with a goal of completing it by the end of July, the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for this age group in Japan is unlikely. On May 21, the vaccine subcommittee continued to discuss what should be done with the AstraZeneca vaccine. It is not yet clear when a decision will be made on the matter, the Health Ministry said. With so many people waiting to be vaccinated, one expert argues that the government should not ignore any vaccine. Otherwise, the Japanese public, with the exception of the elderly, will not receive any vaccines until the fall. “We may not even get there by the end of the year,” Gakushuin University economics professor Wataru Suzuki wrote in a commentary for Nikkei . “Certainly people who want to be protected from the virus as soon as possible have a need to be vaccinated, similar to those who want a vaccine passport to be able to travel abroad on business, and the Ministry of Health is going too far by how to eliminate options,” he argued. Where will 120 million doses go? The Japanese government has reached an agreement to purchase 120 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, all manufactured in Japan, using undiluted solutions from the United States. Of these, 30 million will be manufactured by Daiichi Sankyo and KM Biologics, and 90 million doses will be manufactured by JCR Pharmaceuticals. However, it is not clear how many of these vaccines have been produced Nikkei Asia. Imports and production begin this spring. Daiichi Sankyo and KM are both preparing to ship the vaccine once it is approved by the government. The mid-range drug maker has started production using equipment and technology from AstraZeneca. JCR has announced plans to build a new factory. The US and Japan will have to find a way to handle the 120 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine developed by the Universities of Oxford and AstraZeneca without any plans to use them. Photo: Reuters. AstraZeneca says its completed vaccine can be stored in the refrigerator for at least half a year at 2-8 degrees Celsius. It’s uncertain at this point how many vaccines are ready to be manufactured. If there is no decision on where to use the vaccine in the next six months, the stockpile could expire. The US has yet to start rolling out the AstraZeneca vaccine. However, the country has agreed to purchase 300 million doses and already has shipments ready to deliver. Currently, the US plans to ship the unused vaccine elsewhere.

The city’s Department of Health has planned to treat more than 5,000 cases at the same time. Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said that in the face of the indicated risks, the city must activate the Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control system at the highest level. “The city has Tan Son Nhat international airport, 60 large and small seaports, many last-line hospitals, so it has to activate a highly concentrated epidemic prevention and control system in these places,” said Comrade Nguyen Thanh Phong. strong. Comrade Nguyen Thanh Phong requested, in addition to drastic and strict measures, it is necessary to add measures to prevent and control the epidemic in places and areas with high risk of infection. Specifically, for airways, pay attention to security control and on-board aircraft; for roads, re-establishing checkpoints to collect medical declarations, all people coming from localities with infection chains are required to make medical declarations; For waterways, the city’s border guards must consider epidemic prevention and control as the top task at this time. Industrial parks and production facilities must have a response plan when one or more Covid-19 cases appear. The head of the city government also requested, agencies and units to strengthen online meetings; exchange between state agencies with each other through electronic mailboxes; interaction between the government and the people through the online public service portal. “The city must be ready to respond in case the epidemic spreads in the community. The city will deploy more concentrated medical isolation areas, soon to raise over 10,000 isolation beds and be ready to treat 200 cases at the same time”, Head of the City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control Nguyen Thanh Phong requested.

Lunana is a remote and isolated land in Bhutan. This place is twice the size of New York City, including glaciers, some of the highest peaks in the world and not reachable by car. Even so, almost everyone living here has been vaccinated against Covid-19. A monk is vaccinated at a school in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, on the first day of the vaccination campaign. Photo: AFP The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine batch arrived last month by helicopter and was given injections by medical staff across the ice and snow to each village. “I was given the first shot to prove to others in the village that the vaccine was not fatal and safe. Then everyone got it,” said Pema, the village chief in Lunana. The Lunana campaign is part of a silent vaccination story in one of Asia’s poorest countries. On April 17, Bhutan, a kingdom that cares more about the happiness of its people than the nation’s prosperity, injected the first vaccine to more than 478,000 people, accounting for about 60% of the population. The Health Department said this month that more than 93% of eligible adults received the first shot. Helicopters deliver the vaccine to the remote mountains of Bhutan. Photo: Ministry of Health of Bhutan Most of Bhutan’s first Covid-19 vaccinations were vaccinated to people during the last week of March and the first weeks of April. On April 17, the country’s vaccination rate was 63 shots per 100 people. , ranked 6th in the world in immunization rates. Immunization rates in Bhutan are even ahead of the UK and US, seven times higher than neighboring India and nearly six times higher than global vaccination rates. Bhutan is also ahead of other geographically isolated countries with small populations, such as Iceland and the Maldives. Dasho Dechen Wangmo, Bhutan’s Health Minister, has contributed to this success by effectively implementing “leadership and direction” from the king, erasing people’s hesitations to vaccinate and promoting a The health care system “enables people in the most remote parts of the country to also receive needed services”. “As a country with a population of just over 750,000, a two-week campaign to vaccinate its citizens is possible. Despite some minor logistical problems we were able to deal with. “, Mr. Dechen Wangmo said. Peace Guardians All of these vaccines have so far been funded by the Indian government, produced at the Indian Serum Institute – the world’s largest vaccine production center. The government of Bhutan plans to give the population a second dose of vaccine 8 to 12 weeks after the first vaccination, according to the instructions for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Will Parks, Bhutan’s representative at UNICEF, said the first vaccination series was “a success” with participation from “top authorities to the local community”. The campaign was successful in part based on a team of volunteers, also known as the Peace Guardians, who worked under the direct direction of King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. In Lunana, eight volunteers set up field tents and helped transport oxygen cylinders from village to village, said Karma Tashi, a member of the government’s four-man vaccination team there. These oxygen cylinders are prepared to prevent the vaccinated person from having a disturbing reaction after the vaccination. To save time, Tashi said, the team had vaccinated during the day and walked at night, usually working 10-14 hours a day. According to Mr. Tashi, some people do not want to get vaccinated because they are busy with the crop or are concerned about a response after the vaccination, but after being convinced by the volunteers about the benefits of vaccination, everyone agrees Italy. On April 12, 464 out of 800 people in Lunana received the first shot of the vaccine. The population here includes a small number that do not qualify for the vaccine.

The Bhutan Government Committee will meet once a week to decide which patients need to be sent abroad for treatment. “I don’t think they can cope with the increase in the number of severe Covid-19 cases if that happens. So prioritizing vaccination is important,” the expert said. Bhutan currently records less than 1,000 Covid-19 cases and only 1 death. The country’s borders, which have been tightened by global standards even before the pandemic, have been closed for a year with almost no exception, with anyone coming on quarantine for 21 days. Even the country’s Prime Minister Lotay Tshering, who received his first shot last month, was quarantined after returning from a visit to Bangladesh./.
