Nearly 3.5 million Vietnamese people gained digital COVID-19 vaccination
certificates as of August 5, statistics show.
The national platform for
COVID-19 vaccination management is developed by the Military Industry and Telecoms
Group (Viettel) as assigned by the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Health, the
Ministry of Information and Communications, and the National Steering Committee
for COVID-19 Prevention and Control.
It consists of an e-health
record application, a COVID-19 vaccination information portal, a national
vaccination support system, and a medical command centre.
The platform, which has been
deployed in 62 of the 63 provinces and cities nationwide, is capable of updating information on about 5 million shots per day.
After getting inoculated at
the vaccination sites applying the platform, people will need only less than
five seconds to confirm information via QR codes and can check their
vaccination certificates on the app or the
information portal.
Those gaining one shot of vaccine
will have a yellow certificate while the ones with the full two shots will be
given a green certificate.
The Viettel Business Solutions Corporation, an
affiliate of the group, said the digitalisation of vaccination
management facilitates the enforcement of social distancing measures and
vaccination procedures. It also makes it more convenient for people to access COVID-19
vaccine.
The nationwide COVID-19 vaccination
campaign aims to administer 150 million shots of vaccine to about 75 million
people in the last half of 2021 and early 2022./.
