The Ministry of Health reported that the second and third batches of the vaccine will be brought to Vietnam on April 13-18.
After being checked, the vaccine will be distributed to localities.
The Australian government previously announced it would provide Vietnam with around nine million doses of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine doses for children.
Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuyen Tuyen has asked concerned agencies and localities to propose the necessary number of vaccine doses for children aged 5-12. The Department of Preventive Medicine and the Drug Administration Department and the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology will jointly co-operate for the purchase.
The vaccination will be held at schools and medical stations.
Children must be medically monitored within seven days after being vaccinated.
