During Friday’s online meeting with Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long, the company’s representative said Johnson & Johnson has committed to supply 200 million doses from now until the end of this year to the COVAX Facility, a global risk-sharing mechanism for pooled procurement and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
The company said that after working with Vietnam’s Ministry of Health, it will make every effort to accelerate the supply of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine through the COVAX mechanism, so that Vietnam can receive Johnson & Johnson vaccine as soon as possible. The representative added the company has planned to register the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Vietnam.
