The first batch of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine for children aged five to 12 is expected to arrive in Vietnam on May 10, the Ministry of Health said Monday.

 

Deputy health minister Do Xuan Tuyen said the vaccines are among the 13.7 million doses Australia has promised to donate, including nine million Moderna doses.

 

His ministry had negotiated with U.S. company Pfizer to buy vaccines for children, and several embassies in Vietnam including the Australian, Dutch and American had also offered them, he said.
