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

According to the provincial Department of
Health, following the Prime Minister's direction on organising a rapid
vaccination campaign in the spring of 2022, Hoa Binh has issued and implemented
its plan.
Accordingly, the local campaign lasts from
February 9 to March 15, toward a goal of completing the third dose injection

industrial zones, and those eligible for vaccination. As of February 15, Hoa
Binh had administered 1,554,815 shots. The total numbers of people receiving

the vaccination campaign. It targets to complete the injection of the basic
