Hanoi would also spend VND1 trillion (US$43.6 million) to buy COVID vaccine for the capital city’s citizens, according to the mayor.
Addressing the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the fund was established to mobilize social resources for the purchase and import of vaccines as well as for research, development and production of domestic vaccines.
In an effort to return life to normal, the Party and State set the goal to administer free vaccines to all people to soon reach herd immunity, considering it a fundamental, long-term, strategic and decisive solution to get rid of the pandemic, he said.
As of 10pm on June 5, the fund has received more than VND6.6 trillion (over US$286 million).
