In order to return to
the new normal situation, experts agreed that it is crucial to speed up COVID-19
vaccination, while ensuring sufficient equipment and medicine to serve treatment.
In the coming time,
Vietnam should continue with efforts to access vaccines, while speeding up the
domestic research and production of vaccines so as to have enough vaccines as
fast as possible, they said.
They also stressed the
need to consider the vaccination of children against COVID-19, along with the
use of drugs in combination with traditional remedies.
Many experts held that
social distancing is still necessary amidst the shortage of
vaccines. The measures should be implemented strictly and effectively with
careful preparation, thus ensuring social welfare and sufficient health care
services for people, they said.
Meanwhile, many pointed
out that the application of technology solutions in the pandemic fight has remained modest without connectivity and
smooth coordination. They also suggested encouraging private medical
facilities to engage in giving treatment to COVID-19 patients./.
