First and second booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine are necessary to maintain protection against the virus, deputy health minister Nguyễn Thị Liên Hương said on Monday.

The HCM City Health Department has launched a month-long COVID-19 vaccine campaign.

Vaccination is still an important tool in COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control although almost all communes and wards around the country are now listed as low-risk areas.

A total of 568 new COVID cases were detected in Việt Nam on Sunday, though no deaths were reported by the Ministry of Health.
