Partners and producers have pledged to supply 110 million doses of various COVID-19 vaccines to Vietnam in 2021, the Ministry of Health said in a post on its verified Facebook account on Friday.
The health ministry said it had negotiated with many countries, organizations, and producers to find coronavirus jabs for Vietnam.
Thirty-one million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have been committed for Vietnam, the ministry announced in the post.
The COVAX vaccine-sharing scheme has promised to provide the Southeast Asian nation with 38.9 million vaccine shots while AstraZeneca will deliver 30 million doses.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases continued to surge in continental Southeast Asia on Tuesday with a spike in Cambodia prompting the government to threaten legal action against journalists who cover stories in “red zone” areas with strict lockdowns.
Cambodia’s Ministry of Information said local and foreign media coverage of the red zone has “confused the public and provoked social chaos that will lead to more COVID-19 spreading.”
“In order to protect social security and prevent COVID-19 from spreading, the Ministry of Information is advising journalists to halt all actions immediately,” it said in a statement issued Tuesday. “In the event that people continue to ignore this notice, [we] will take legal action.”
