All localities have been asked to quickly make lists of priority groups for free Covid-19 vaccinations because the AstraZeneca vaccine has a shelf-life of just six months.
The Health Ministry said the list must be submitted to the General Department of Preventive Medicine or regional Pasteur Institutes before April 15 so that the ministry can map out a detailed plan for distributing vaccine doses.
Vietnam s mass vaccination campaign began March 8 after a batch of 117,600 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine was delivered in February. So far, nearly 53,000 Vietnamese citizens, mainly frontline workers in the Covid-19 fight, have received their first vaccine shots.

As Japan prepares to expand the scope of its coronavirus vaccine rollout to the entire population, 62.1% of people have expressed a willingness to receive a shot, a recent online survey by a Tokyo-based medical school has shown.
The poll, conducted in January by a team from Tokyo Medical University, also found that women and younger generations are less accepting of vaccines, underscoring the need for the government to reassure and educate large sections of the populace about their safety. In order to raise the level of herd immunity, it is necessary to increase the percentage of those willing to get shots, said Masaki Machida, a research associate at the university s Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health.

The Keck School of Medicine added two new progressive degree programs narrative medicine and public health data science.
The school also has another new program speech-language pathology. The creation of the program was inspired by the need for work in the field matched with a lack of previous educational opportunities. The speech-language pathology program, which is admitting their first class in Fall 2021, is a terminal degree that trains and helps students obtain the appropriate certification and licenses to practice in the field.
