In the past 2 days, the province has vaccinated nearly 4,500 workers, while the total need for workers and workers needing vaccination is 100,000 people.

`If there is a shortage of human resources to vaccinate, the Ministry of Health will transfer 1,000 students from Bach Mai Medical College who have been trained and are ready to go,` said the Deputy Minister.

Deputy Minister Son said Bac Giang received 150,000 doses of vaccine.

`Vaccinating workers is a premise for a number of production facilities located in industrial parks to have full safety conditions against Covid-19 and be able to return to production,` the Deputy Minister said.

Bac Ninh today also vaccinated 600 environmental workers with Covid-19 vaccine.

Vaccination of workers in industrial parks in Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces is carried out under the direction of the Prime Minister and Minister of Health to prevent epidemics.

The Covid-19 vaccine being injected in Vietnam is from Astrazeneca.

Workers in Bac Giang were vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine.

Dr. Pham Quang Thai, Head of the Northern Vaccination Office, Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, today also emphasized that Covid-19 vaccination is a very important proactive disease prevention measure.

The reason is that vaccines do not provide immediate protection.

In addition, vaccines do not provide absolute protection, especially the ability to protect against disease transmission, which means that some vaccinated people may not get sick but still have the ability to become carriers of the virus and

`Therefore, vaccinated people still need to strictly implement other disease prevention measures, especially the 5K measure to protect themselves, their families, colleagues and the community,` Mr. Thai said.
