On February 8 morning, Nguyen Thi Em, over 70
years old, from Luong Son district arrived early at a COVID-19 vaccination site
to get her health checked before getting her booster shot. The woman said her
old age and blood pressure disease made her worried. She noted the health
staff’s careful check-up and consultation helped her to feel more secure when
getting the injection.
On the days prior to Tet, the district's
steering committee for COVID-19 prevention and control has simultaneously
administered the booster dose to eligible people. So far, the rate of local
people getting the first shot against COVID-19 has reached 101.96 percent.
According to Bui Thanh Hai, deputy director of

Accordingly, the local campaign lasts from

the vaccination campaign. It targets to complete the injection of the basic
doses for people aged 12 years and older as well as the additional and booster
doses for people from 18 years old following the schedule set by the
Government, the Ministry of Health, and the provincial People's Committee./.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
