Vietnam is negotiating with other countries to secure Covid-19 vaccine doses for children aged 12-18, with the Pfizer vaccine a potential candidate.
In a meeting with ambassadors from Australia, France and Switzerland, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said one of Vietnam s priorities in the Covid-19 fight is early and expansive access to Covid-19 vaccine sources, a project to which the three countries could contribute.
He further requested the nations to cooperate with global vaccine access mechanism Covax in delivering Covid-19 vaccines to the country.
