HANOI, June 8 — Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, is considering injecting the fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccines to vulnerable adults or those whose jobs put them at high risk of exposure to the virus, starting this month.
People eligible to receive the dose include those aged 50 and above, those aged 18 and above diagnosed to be moderately or severely immunocompromised, or those with high-risk jobs such as healthcare workers, frontliners, and factory workers.
The capital city aims to have more than 95 per cent of the eligible adults administered this time, reported Vietnam News Agency (VNA).
It does not rule out the possibility of expanding eligibility for the second booster dose if supply is sufficient.
The vaccines to be used will be Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.
