Minster of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that the MoH encourages and is creating the most favourable conditions for businesses and localities to join the efforts to import COVID-19 vaccines into Vietnam while giving top priority to quality and safety.
In the upcoming time, the MoH will continue to announce encouraging policies to attract businesses and localities to join the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines. Accordingly, the MoH will create the most favourable conditions for import, import licensing, and vaccine verification. The MoH will maximally accelerate administrative procedures while ensuring the quality and safety of vaccines.
In case businesses do not have qualified conditions for vaccination, the MoH will support this.
According to Long, for COVID-19 vaccines licensed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the MoH's council will meet and appraise and then license vaccines within five dating of receiving all legal documents and authorisation from producers.
When COVID-19 vaccines are imported into Vietnam with all necessary legal documents and authorisation from manufacturers, the council will meet within two days to appraise and check all relevant documents and then authorise the use of the vaccines in line with the regulations of the WHO.
