Australia delivers five refrigerated trucks, 4.2 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to Việt Nam
Australian Ambassador to Việt Nam Andrew Goledzinowski welcomed the recent deliveries, highlighting Australia’s ongoing support for Việt Nam’s COVID- 一 九 response.
He said: “Australia has been proud to partner with Việt Nam since 二0 二 一 in support of the national COVID- 一 九 vaccination campaign.
“It’s great to see these recent deliveries – the vaccine doses will help boost the national COVID- 一 九 vaccine campaign, and the trucks will support the vaccine rollout and contribute to broader health system strengthening efforts.”
Rana Flowers, UNICEF Representative in Việt Nam, said: “From the outset of the pandemic, UNICEF has prioritised ensuring safe vaccine storage and transportation, particularly to the harder-to-reach areas of Việt Nam.
“The trucks and the additional vaccines, particularly for children, are most welcome and timely and contribute greatly to the ongoing efforts to keep Việt Nam safe from the COVID- 一 九 outbreaks.
“UNICEF will continue to support Việt Nam to ensure an adequate supply of vaccines, vaccination equipment and other medical equipment to respond to the fight against the pandemic and to ensure catch-up and continuity of routine vaccines for children.” — VNS
