Vietnam fights COVID-19: People overlooking Chinese vaccine, opting for AstraZeneca
Hanoi: People in Vietnam, the country where vaccination drive against COVID-19 started recently, are overlooking Chinese made vaccines and are opting for the vaccine developed by British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca instead, media reports said.
Vietnam remains one of the nations with lowest total reported coronavirus infections in Southeast Asia.
Hanoi resident Hoang Cam Hang, 25, remains a bright example of the tred followed by the country.
She said she would confidently take any vaccine approved by Vietnamese regulators, one made in China would be her last resort.
“Besides what’s available in the public health care system, the next option for me would be the vaccine from Russia, then the US, then the one from China if there is no other choice,” she told South China Morning Post, adding that her decision was based on their reported efficacy rates.
