In districts included: Police forces, army forces serving in isolated areas who participating in investigation, coordinating investigate isolated people at the facilities, medical forces directly involved in epidemic prevention (including testers, treatment staff in infectious departments of medical centers and hospitals).

These facilities will organize vaccinations

 

Dong Nai province only implemented vaccination at vaccination sites of public health system in the first phase due to a limited supply of vaccines. Include health stations at 170 communes, wards, and towns that have been granted vaccine eligibility certificates; district hospitals, medical centers; and provincial general hospitals.

 

Every commune, ward, and town may receive a few hundred doses of vaccine and start for injection within 2-3 days. District health centers and hospitals will give injections to officials and employees of district departments and agencies. Provincial diseases control center and Bien Hoa health center will give injections to officials and employees of provincial departments and agencies and Dong Nai lung hospital.

 

The people receiving these injections are mostly government officials and employees assigned to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, government departments are at high risk because of usually communication with foreigners and entry persons…. Thus, the authorities were spreading propaganda to ensure that those who will have been immunized against this batch understand and follow the rules.

 

The Covid-19 vaccine program will last at least from 2021 to 2022. It is expected to inject a variety of Covid-19 vaccines, not just the AstraZeneca vaccine.

 

The Department of Health has just organized a general training course on Covid-19 vaccination deployment for leaders who are directly involved in the vaccination process at immunization facilities, pharmacy personnel related to vaccine preservation, and staffs, physicians at hospital emergency departments related to anaphylaxis management. The training content includes: Vaccination organization operations, screening skills, anaphylaxis management and vaccine preservation, transportation, statistics, and reports. Following training at the provincial level, officials and employees at the district level will continue to deploy training to each member at the lower level, ensuring vaccinations at the highest level. If the Ministry of Health introduces new vaccinations or changes, the Department of Health will have to arrange additional training courses for medical staffs.

 

The most important requirement of vaccination, even for any vaccines, is that they are safe. As a result, the Ministry of Health's rules must be strictly enforced at all points of the vaccination process. The Covid-19 vaccine is a new vaccine. However, in order to be used, the vaccine had to pass all regulatory censorship procedures. While vaccine manufacturers are permitted to shorten the time relative to other vaccines, the testing procedures are not changed. The AstraZeneca vaccine which was adopted in Vietnam, is a vaccine recommended by the World Health Organization. Vietnam is not the first nation to adopt this vaccine.

 

When importing AstraZeneca vaccine into Vietnam, the Ministry of Health also performed the necessary inspection measures in compliance with the law. As a result, this vaccine meets the same criteria as other vaccines. Previously, some countries briefly suspended AstraZeneca vaccination but most have continued to use this vaccine.

 

According to Dr. Bach Thai Binh, anything that is added into the human body, not just medicines or vaccinations, has an incompatibility rate. When vaccinated, the undesirable effects are still present, but at a low level, negligible in comparison to the number of people who use the vaccine. Until now, the AstraZeneca vaccine has an extremely high safety level. More than 55,000 people in 19 provinces and cities in Vietnam were vaccinated during the first phase of vaccination (from March 8 to April 8). According to the findings of the study, there were approximately 1 ‰ case of hypersensitivity reactions after injection that were adequately treated, their health was stable, and they returned to work after 1-2 days of follow-up care at a medical facility. Vietnam has had no cases of blood clots or thrombosis after vaccination until now.

 

Receive 16.8 thousands doses of Covid-19 vaccine.

 

In the morning of April 16, there were 16.8 thousands doses of AstraZeneca vaccine delivered to Dong Nai by the Ministry of Health.

 

According to the Department of Health's plan for receiving, preserving, distributing, and using Covid-19 vaccines in Dong Nai province, the first phase of 2021, injection of AstraZeneca vaccine will begin from April 25 to May 5. The province organizes vaccination for those who have not been vaccinated for the first phase of vaccination from May 6 to May 8.
