Duong Tan Hien, vice chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee said, "Thot Not District has not submitted any report to the city authorities yet. It is wrong to vaccinate children without authority approval."
On September 13, Nguyen Kim Hai, director of Thot Not Health Station was suspended from his work for 15 days for prioritising the Covid-19 vaccination of a local child aged 13. He later said that several children under 18 were also vaccinated as they were relatives of frontline medical staff.
On September 14, a list of vaccinated people was posted on the internet. According to the list, a total of 362 people were vaccinated on August 11 including 57 children who were vaccinated with Pfizer at a vaccination point at Thot Not Secondary School.
The Ministry of Health has not issued any announcement or approval for child vaccination. Children are currently not in the prioritised group for vaccination.
