France said Thursday it would send 670,000 Covid-19 vaccine doses to Vietnam under global access mechanism Covax while Hungary has pledged to send 100,000 doses.
Vietnam is expected to receive an additional shipment of nearly 218,000 doses of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine this week, according to the Ministry of Health (MOH).
Volunteers are being recruited for clinical trials of ARCT-154, a Covid-19 vaccine developed by a US company, whose manufacturing rights have been secured by VinBioCare, a subsidiary of VinGroup.
Ho Chi Minh City will receive 600,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses from Pasteur Institute to continue mass inoculation.
The current speed of vaccination can see HCMC run out of the Covid-19 vaccine doses that the Ministry of Health has allocated to the city.
