Phu Quoc officials want the government to prioritize fully vaccinating 90 percent of the island's population against Covid-19 before tourism resumes in October.

 

Huynh Quang Hung, chairman of Phu Quoc, a popular tourism destination, said 35 percent of people aged 18 and above have got a first shot and the town needs another 250,000-300,000 doses to achieve herd immunity.

 

If the town gets enough vaccines this month authorities would immediately speed up vaccination, and the plan to welcome back foreign tourists in October could go ahead, he said Thursday at a meeting with tourism officials.
