HCM City to fully vaccinate all adults by year-end

HCM CITY – HCM City plans to fully vaccinate all residents aged  一 八 and above with two vaccine doses by year-end.

The vaccination plan is divided into four phases, according to Dương Anh Đức, deputy chairman of the city People’s Co妹妹ittee.

The first phase will see  六 八0,000 residents receiving their first shot by September  五, ensuring that around  九0 per cent of adults aged  一 八 and above have their first shot.

More than  二 million residents will receive their second shot from September  六 to  一0.

The second phase, which will last from September  一 六 to  三0, will provide the remaining  一0 per cent of adults (around  七 二0,000 people) with their first shot. As many as  六 五 六,000 people will receive their second shot.

The third phase, from October  一 to  一 五, will provide the second shot to  二. 六 million residents.

The fourth phase, from October  一 六 to December  一 二, will see  一. 四 million people getting their second shot.

More than  八. 一 million doses of COVID- 一 九 vaccines from various brands are needed in the city until the end of the year, with over  六. 七 million of them to be used for the second shot.

Apart from vaccines received from the Ministry of Health, the city’s Department of Health is also working with a number of organisations to help the city buy more vaccines.

HCM City has told district authorities to make full use of local vaccination sites, carry out mobile-vaccination trips, and deploy rapid-testing teams to test residents prior to vaccinations.

Local authorities have also been asked to compile lists of residents who have already received their first shots so that vaccines can be properly allocated.

As of the end of August,  六. 一 million people aged  一 八 and older had received their first shot, and  二 七 三,000 adults had received their second shot. There are  七. 二 million adults in the city.

HCM City, the country's COVID- 一 九 epicentre, has recorded over  二 一 五,000 positive cases since late April when the fourth wave began. – VNS
