Checking vaccination work in measles vaccination campaign in Ho Chi Minh City

VNVC District 8 is one of 39 VNVC vaccination centers across the city participating in the measles vaccination campaign for children aged 1-10 years old, which took place from September 16.

On the first day of the city's enhanced measles vaccination campaign, 39 VNVC centers provided free vaccinations to nearly 200 children aged 1-10, along with nearly a thousand service vaccines containing anti-measles components.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tang Chi Thuong highly appreciated VNVC's experience in implementing safe vaccination for many years and its quality vaccination service. He assessed that VNVC's active support would contribute to promoting the city's measles vaccination campaign to be successful.

According to Mr. Thuong, VNVC has modern, clean and spacious facilities, especially the safe vaccination process complies with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health . VNVC has a good screening and post-vaccination emergency treatment process, people can go to centers like VNVC to get vaccinated safely, increasing the effectiveness of the campaign.

According to Dr. Bach Thi Chinh, Medical Director of VNVC Vaccination System, on the first day VNVC deployed the measles vaccination campaign in Ho Chi Minh City, nearly 200 children were vaccinated with MRVAC measles vaccine for free, mainly in outlying districts such as District 12, Binh Tan, Hoc Mon, Binh Chanh, Cu Chi...

Previously, from the beginning of September 2024 until now, 39 VNVC vaccination centers in Ho Chi Minh City have injected more than 30,000 doses of measles vaccine for children under 10 years old. This is a very meaningful number contributing to Ho Chi Minh City's campaign to control and repel the measles epidemic this year.

In addition to free measles vaccination, parents can also give their children other important vaccines such as flu vaccine, meningitis vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, hepatitis AB vaccine... VNVC still applies support "vaccinate first, pay later" with interest-free installments for up to 12 months.

Doctor Chinh said that in addition to supporting the measles vaccination campaign, VNVC also strives to fully supply all types of vaccines in the context of complicated epidemic developments, frequent rains and floods from now until the end of the year, causing many diseases to be at risk of outbreaks such as flu, chickenpox, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, etc.
