​However, the updated data between the province and the Ministry of Health sometimes does not match. Typically, the Newsletter at 6pm on August 8, 2021, announced by the Ministry of Health on August 8, 2021, Binh Duong has 3,210 Covid-19 cases. Meanwhile, according to the Department of Health's report, Binh Duong recorded 2,395 cases in a day.

Explaining this difference, Mr. Nguyen Hong Chuong - Director of Binh Duong Department of Health said, due to the time when the Ministry of Health announced the number of cases of the localities different from the time of publishing statistics of the province. The number of 3,210 cases of Binh Duong is the Ministry of Health plus the number of cases yesterday afternoon of the province, while the number of cases yesterday in Binh Duong province has already been announced.

Also related to vaccination data in the province, as of August 8, 2021, Binh Duong has basically injected nearly 420,000 doses of the vaccine that the Ministry has allocated to the province to inject to regulated subjects and industrial park workers. About 150,000 doses left, the units will deploy all injections in the next 2 days.

Mr. Chuong added that the update of vaccination data on the provincial National Immunization System has not been timely, leading to lower updated data compared to the actual data. The Department has directed units and localities to quickly update the data on the system and complete the update on August 9, 2021.
