in Hanoi on February 5 for Chief Representatives of the UN Development
Programme (), the UN Children Fund (), and the World Health
Organisation (WHO) in Vietnam.
The guests informed the host of
vaccine deliveries via the WHO-initiated COVAX programme, affirming that
Vietnam is among the countries prioritised during implementation.
They spoke highly of the results of Vietnam’s
COVID-19 fight over the past year, especially in the latest outbreaks.
The pandemic has been brought under control in
Hanoi, surrounding localities, and across the country, and local people can
welcome a safe Lunar New Year, they said.
Thanking the international organisations for
helpful information, Dam said they are all actively working with the Ministry of
Health to prepare an injection plan, as required by COVAX.
If favourable, the first doses in the COVAX
programme will be transported to Vietnam in the first quarter to support the
country’s pandemic prevention and control efforts, Dam stressed./.
