HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam received 811,000 doses of AstraZeneca\u2019s COVID-19 vaccines on Thursday, its first batch of vaccines under the global COVAX scheme, following a week-long delay caused by limited supply.<\/p>\n

The Southeast Asian country, which began its coronavirus vaccination programme last month, is aiming to secure 30 million doses in total via the COVAX vaccine-sharing facility.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s delivery took Vietnam\u2019s number of AstraZeneca doses to nearly 930,000 so far, but the country is looking to diversify its procurement from more sources, including Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, China\u2019s Sinovac and Russia\u2019s vaccine, Sputnik V.<\/p>\n

In a meeting with health minister Nguyen Thanh Long, Russia\u2019s embassy in Hanoi on Wednesday offered to help Vietnam manufacture Sputnik V locally, the health ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Long also said Vietnam would approve the Chinese vaccine within weeks, after Sinovac submits the required documents. Vietnam is among only a few countries in Asia yet to use the Chinese vaccine.<\/p>\n

Vietnam has been praised for its record in containing the virus through mass testing and tracing and strict quarantining, which has kept its cases to just 2,603, with 35 deaths. Nearly 50,000 people have been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s shipment, originally of 1.37 million doses, was expected to be delivered by March 25 but was delayed due to supply shortages, according to the United Nations\u2019 children\u2019s fund, UNICEF, which is handling the COVAX rollout in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Vietnam\u2019s first domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine, called Nanocovax, is expected to be put into use in 2022.<\/p>\n

Four Vietnamese companies are engaged in vaccine research and production and two are at the human trial stage.<\/p>\n
