More than 1.2 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccines handed over to MoH

A batch of Covid-19 vaccines, including 1,209,400 doses of AstraZeneca, was officially handed over to the Ministry of Health (MoH) by Vietnam Vaccine Joint Stock Company (VNVC) on the morning of August 22. This is the ninth batch of vaccines brought to Vietnam by VNVC on August 19, under the pre-order contract of 30 million doses between VNVC and AstraZeneca.

Thus, only one week since the eighth batch of Covid-19 vaccines, including more than 1.1 million doses, was transferred by VNVC to the MoH, VNVC has continued to deliver more than 1.2 million doses to contribute promptly to the prevention of the pandemic. 

According to Ms. Vu Thi Thu Ha, Supply Director of the VNVC, every Covid-19 vaccine dose brought to Vietnam at this time is extremely valuable. At present, only active vaccination against the disease to achieve herd immunity as soon as possible can avoid the tragedy of overload for the healthcare system and high mortality.

Thus, VNVC has imported nearly 7 million doses of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccines into Vietnam under a contract to purchase 30 million doses from November 2020 and transferred unprofitably to the MoH.
