People stirred when the certificate of vaccination that the Ministry of Health just issued on January 7th left room for 7 injections. Is each resident planning to have 7 injections? Why do you already have an injection certificate app but need a paper for it?
Talking to Tuoi Tre Online about how many vaccines each person will have to take to prevent COVID-19, when the new confirmation form has room for 7 injections, Dr. Pham Quang Thai - Head of the Northern Expanded Immunization Office - said that the new paper sample still has a "prophylactic" nature, because this is a new vaccine and the epidemic is still complicated.
According to Mr. Thai, the current injection schedule is that each person will normally inject 3 injections, including 2 basic injections and 1 booster shot. People with low immunity or vaccinated with 3 doses of vaccine (Abdala vaccine) will get 1 more dose to 4 doses.
In addition, there are currently 14,000 volunteers who have been vaccinated with Vietnam's Nano Covax vaccine, but because the vaccine has not been licensed for circulation, it has not been displayed on the electronic health book or apps with card display function. Green card, yellow card, the time of trial vaccination so far has also been from 6 months to 1 year, by the time of recommended booster vaccination, the volunteers have also been vaccinated with licensed vaccines.
The number of injections in these people will also be more. Therefore, the number of injections with space in the certificate is not a predetermined schedule of 7 injections for each person.
Already have a "green card", do I need to issue an additional certificate of injection?
According to the statistics of the Electronic Health Book administration team, there are currently about 32 million people who have installed this application, those who have had enough shots can easily search the vaccination history on the application because the vaccination facility is close injection data entry is complete, there is only a small amount left because injection is faster than input, but this will also be completed soon.
If so, is a certificate of injection required? According to an expert from the Ministry of Health, there are currently about 65 million smartphone users, looking up "green card" information is easy, but when going on a business trip or traveling abroad, a certificate is still needed.
"If there is no need to go abroad, people only need to look up vaccination information on the app, in addition to the electronic health book, there is also PC-COVID. vaccinated can return to the vaccination facility to confirm previous shots and a new certificate replaces the old ones," the expert explained.
In case the updated app lacks the number of injections, the COVID-19 Immunization Portal has a reflection function, users can submit feedback and the admin team will return the vaccination facility to update.
Although the app has been updated to nose 3, the "reflection" section on the app does not have a request to update nose 3. The admin group said that it is waiting to fix this function.
Nowadays, updating vaccination information, according to the admin group, is easier, without having to enter data like before, just look up your name + phone number or full name + identity card / identity / code identifier is to find the person's vaccination history and from there update the supplement, booster shot quickly and easily.
