Vietnam has gained success in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, but due to the limited supply of vaccines globally, the rate of vaccination in the country remains low. At present, only around 4% of Vietnam’s population have been vaccinated, while the number of infections has surged in the past few weeks. Earlier, Vietnam had received 2,493,200 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine through the COVAX Facility. Since the arrival of the first batch of vaccine supplied by COVAX in early April, Vietnam has administered over 4 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine by July 9.
