Speaking at the meeting, Toan assigned tasks to relevant sectors and asked them to frequently update information from vaccination sites, especially on any incidents in a bid to devise suitable and timely solutions.

The Hoa Binh Department of Health will soon build vaccine distribution plans for prioritised groups, he said, suggesting that retired medical workers be mobilised to ensure personnel for the drive./.
