In just 3 months, more than 50 agencies, businesses and organizations have contacted the VNVC Vaccination System to vaccinate their employees against dengue fever.
Vaccination at work
Recently, nearly 400 workers at Mai Trung Industrial Park, Ben Cat city, Binh Duong province were vaccinated against dengue fever right at their workplace.
While waiting for monitoring after receiving the dengue fever vaccine, Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen Nhi (22 years old) shared: "I heard that Vietnam has a vaccine. Luckily, the company took care of me in time. Today, I got the dengue fever vaccine right at work, saving time and ensuring that I can prevent the disease."
Ms. Pham Thi Thuong, the company's human resources manager, shared that organizing vaccinations is one of the company's new welfare policies to proactively take care of employees' health. Employees are the company's assets, taking care of each employee's health also helps employees feel secure in their work, production, and long-term commitment.
Nearly 400 workers at Mai Trung Industrial Park, Ben Cat, Binh Duong were vaccinated against dengue fever right at their workplace.
Recently, many companies, businesses and organizations have contacted to organize dengue fever vaccination for staff and employees right at the workplace.
These units are very concerned about vaccination safety and the quality and effectiveness of vaccines because dengue fever is a dangerous disease, and if vaccinated, it is necessary to achieve optimal effectiveness and minimize the risk of post-vaccination reactions.
In just over the past 3 months, more than 50 agencies, businesses and organizations have registered to vaccinate their employees against dengue fever. The number of people vaccinated ranges from a few dozen to a few hundred.
According to the VNVC Vaccination System, in just the first month of implementing dengue fever vaccination in Vietnam, more than 100,000 children and adults have been vaccinated and booked for this vaccine.
Besides dengue fever, the demand for influenza vaccination and the new pneumococcal 23 vaccine from businesses is also increasing, especially at the end of the year when respiratory diseases begin to peak.
Prevent disease, save costs
According to Ms. Pham Hong Thuy - Customer Care Director of VNVC Vaccination System, in recent years, Vietnamese enterprises have increasingly focused on protecting health and creating a safe working environment for employees. Vaccination not only demonstrates practical care for physical and mental health but also helps ensure a stable labor supply chain and reduce the number of hours off work due to employee illness.
On-site vaccination saves companies and employees travel time
BSCKI Bach Thi Chinh, medical director of the VNVC Vaccination System, said that crowded, closed working environments have a high risk of disease outbreaks.
Dengue fever causes expensive treatment costs, cases without insurance coverage can cost up to hundreds of millions of dong, causing a waste of money while workers do not have high incomes.
Doctor Chinh said that the vaccine is considered an effective new weapon in preventing dengue fever, saving costs today in addition to traditional measures such as killing mosquito larvae and preventing mosquito bites.
The dengue vaccine produced by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company (Japan) is effective in preventing the disease by more than 80% and preventing the risk of hospitalization by up to 90%, and is given to children from 4 years old and adults (no upper limit). In particular, the vaccine can prevent 4 serotypes of dengue virus at the same time (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4), preventing the disease and the risk of reinfection with dengue fever.
"VNVC with more than 200 modern vaccination centers nationwide is safely vaccinating against dengue fever in large quantities, especially recording a very high demand for pre-ordering this vaccine," said Dr. Chinh.
Ms. Pham Hong Thuy added that there are 4 general warehouses and more than 200 cold storages for preserving vaccines that meet international GSP standards right on site, committed to providing adequate and large quantities of vaccines to serve the vaccination needs of agencies and businesses.
"We have a team of professional doctors, nurses, and medical staff in all localities, a well-trained mobile vaccination process, a vaccination line that ensures all steps according to the requirements of the Ministry of Health, and a system for handling post-vaccination reactions on-site... With available capacity nationwide, the center has organized thousands of mobile vaccination sessions very quickly and safely," Ms. Thuy emphasized.
