The Covid-19 pandemic is seriously threatening human life. In
order to limit and prevent epidemics, a number of vaccines have been quickly
developed and produced to promptly limit the spread of disease in the community
and bring life back to normal. However, not all vaccines are suitable for all
people of all ages. Whether or not an individual could chose the type of
vaccine to be injected is still of public interest.
How to Request and Get the Suitable
Covid-19 Vaccine in Vietnam?
According to the Vietnam Center for Disease Control, up to now,
Vietnam has eight vaccines against COVID-19 licensed for use by the Ministry of
Health. Vaccines currently being approved for use include: AstraZeneca,
Gam-COVID-Vac (also known as SPUTNIK V), Vero Cell, Pfizer/BioNTech’s
Comirnaty, Spikevax Vaccine (Alternatively Moderna), the vaccine Janssen
vaccine, Hayat-Vax vaccine and Abdala vaccine. Each vaccine has different
ingredients, and individuals with a history of allergies to vaccine components
could face certain level of risks after vaccination.
The vaccines used in Vietnam have recorded information on cases of
vaccine side-effects. Specifically, the British AstraZeneca vaccine causes the
injector to have fever symptoms. It is considered a normal symptom after
injection, but for people with a history of allergy to the components of
vaccines, it is possible to choose the appropriate vaccine for the medical
condition. mine.
Specifically, the Centers for Disease Control also recommends that
individuals who are allergic to any component of the vaccine should not receive
that vaccine. Having said that, if an individual is allergic to any component
of a vaccine, he or she can request an alternative vaccine. Vietnam does not
allow individuals to arbitrarily choose the type of vaccine to be injected, but
if they have special medical conditions such as allergic to vaccine components,
they will be considered for alternative if such requested vaccines are
available.
To be able to claim the appropriate vaccine, the individual must
first be on the vaccination list of the local are of residence or of the
company. The individual can write the request to the local
Department of Health requesting the appropriate vaccine.

vaccinated, individuals, especially those with a history of allergies to
vaccine components, should pay attention to strictly follow the regulations on
vaccination. Getting the right vaccines helps limit risks and contributes to
limiting the spread of disease, protecting health of community.
