Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Minh speaks at the meeting
As assessed by the Department of Health, the vaccination rate in localities has not been satisfactory for many reasons, of which, due to the population movement, many people who come to inject themselves leave the locality, a part has a subjective mentality about the pandemic because they have had 2 doses. The vaccination data entry on the national immunization system is still difficult.
At the meeting, localities reported on vaccination schedule, treatment, handling, review and entry of remaining vaccine data; solutions to complete the 3rd dose vaccination for those over 18 years old, a plan to prepare vaccination for children aged 5-11 years, etc.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Vo Van Minh assessed that the province's vaccination had achieved an important milestone. However, the data update is not close and there are contradictions and overlaps. The localities check the data of the population moving away, the data of F0 to exclude subjects. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial Center for Disease Control to work with the National Portal to update and adjust the data. The Industrial Zones Authority works with each factory, enterprise, and employee to determine the number of people who have not been vaccinated so as to have a plan to mobilize workers to get the 3rd dose. Health stations must be open until 22:00 at night to serve vaccinations for people.
