Provincial and municipal authorities are required to calculate the number of children in three age groups: 3-11, 12-15 and 16-17 and calculate the vaccine demand for each group.
They also need to make vaccination plans for children aged 3 and above and adults in 2022, including third and fourth booster shots for people already inoculated with two doses.
At a recent conference, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said it is proposing providing a third dose for high-risk people and frontline workers in November and December.
The city is also planning to vaccinate children aged 3 and above in 2022.
Data on the national vaccination portal shows that Vietnam has administered 82,051,163 doses of COVID-19 vaccine as of November 1.
As of October 19, the Ministry of Health had received and allocated nearly 105 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
