According to data recently released by Agoda, coastal and mountainous destinations are the most searched by tourists in the Vietnamese market for summer vacations from April to August, accounting for 80% of the top 10 searches.
In the hot summer weather, Vung Tau and Phan Thiet are the two most popular destinations, leading the search for coastal "heat-escape" tourist destinations. Da Nang and Nha Trang are also highly searched locations thanks to their beautiful seascapes and cool weather.
This reflects the trend of domestic tourists to go to the beach in the face of the harsh sunlight. On the other hand, Da Lat also attracts a large number of tourists who love the cool climate of the mountainous region.
The choice of coastal and mountainous destinations not only reveals current travel habits, but also contributes to shaping overall travel trends, showing strong domestic interest in domestic destinations.
Fearing a measles outbreak, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health proposes additional vaccinations for children.
On June 20, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health submitted a document to the City People's Committee on the issuance of a plan to implement a campaign to supplement measles vaccination for children aged 1-5 years in the area.
According to the Department of Health, as of June 9, the city has recorded 16 cases of measles in four districts. Of the 16 cases, 68.8% of children under 2 years old, 93.8% of children under 5 years old, and 84.6% of children from 9 months to under 5 years old have not been fully vaccinated.
Thus, the number of measles cases is concentrated in children under 5 years old and it can be affirmed that children who have not been fully vaccinated are at high risk of contracting the disease.
The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control has assessed the risk of measles outbreaks in districts and counties. The results are: the entire city is at a very high risk level, two districts and counties with very high risk are Binh Tan and Hoc Mon, high risk is Cu Chi, and the remaining districts and counties have medium risk.
Therefore, there is a risk of measles outbreak and spread throughout the city if there are no timely preventive measures. Based on the above, the Department of Health has submitted a document to the City People's Committee for consideration and promulgation of a plan to implement a measles vaccination campaign in 2024 for localities to implement together.
The estimated cost of purchasing measles-rubella vaccine, measles-rubella solvent, training, and communication for the campaign is more than 4.3 billion VND.
