(VOVWORLD) - The first female medical staff and other frontline workers at the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Hanoi received their AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19 on March 8 which coincides with International Women’s Day.
The first 50 healthcare workers receive the vaccine on the morning, and an additional 50 workers are subsequently given the shot in the afternoon.
Medical workers have their health checked before the jab.
Everyone is consulted before being injected with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan (C) is on hand at the hospital in order to check the vaccination process.
The first female worker is gratefully injected with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Due to the limited supply of the vaccine, medical workers who come in to direct contact with COVID-19 patients as part of their job have been given the highest priority during the vaccination campaign.
Despite having some concerns, a female worker shares that she feels this is the most special gift for her on this year’s International Women’s Day.
After receiving their inoculation, the workers are closely monitored for 30 minutes.
