From today (June 5), the "vaccination assistant" application - Mobile app VNVC is officially available on both iOS and Android platforms. Users can easily download, install and use on mobile devices from the application store available on Google Play and App Store .
The launch of the VNVC Mobile App is part of the VNVC Vaccination System 's "Action for the community protected by vaccines" program , which includes many activities to raise awareness of the role of vaccines and vaccination to proactively protect health against dangerous epidemics, while helping people easily access safe, quality vaccination services at reasonable costs. VNVC also donates hundreds of thousands of free flu shots to the community to increase the rate of Vietnamese people protected against dangerous flu from 4% to 10% by the end of 2025.
"Vaccination assistant" for every home
With just a few simple steps, users can complete the registration to experience the features on the app such as: looking up vaccination history, viewing the list of necessary vaccines, ordering vaccines right on the app, viewing recommended vaccines for themselves, reading the latest news about vaccines, receiving notifications of vaccine promotions...
In particular, this is a rare vaccination application in Vietnam that provides comprehensive important features to track and look up lifelong vaccination information.
The VNVC app has full features to look up vaccination history, order vaccines right on the app, view recommended vaccines for yourself...
The first time she downloaded the VNVC app, Ms. NN Suong (30 years old, living in District 3) said she was very surprised when her vaccination history from 5 years ago was still saved in great detail on the app.
"Based on each individual's vaccination history and recommended vaccines, my family and I can easily choose the type of vaccine to inject and booster to prevent diseases. Recently, hearing about the scarcity of many types of vaccines, I will use the vaccine ordering utility to keep the necessary vaccines for myself and my family. Not only that, on this app, I can look up vaccine products to know if they are still available or out of stock without having to go to the center," Ms. Suong shared.
VNVC App reminds vaccination schedule, limits missing important vaccines
Ms. Vu Thi Thu Ha, Director of Supply of VNVC Vaccination System, said that after the pandemic, awareness of the important role of vaccines in the health and lives of children and adults has increased significantly. Because people see the significance of preventing dangerous epidemics thanks to vaccines, which are simple, effective, safe and less expensive than treating diseases. Therefore, the rate of children and adults proactively going to VNVC centers to get fully vaccinated on schedule has increased.
Experts recommend that in any case, children and adults should not delay or wait for vaccines. Getting vaccinated fully and on schedule will maximize the effectiveness of protection, disease prevention, and quality of life improvement.

Dr. Bach Thi Chinh, Medical Director of VNVC Vaccination System, said that many infectious diseases such as measles, hepatitis B, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, Hib meningitis, polio... have not been completely eliminated and can infect children at any time, so vaccination is needed as soon as the schedule is due.
According to Dr. Chinh, given the current shortage of 5-in-1 vaccines, parents can switch to 6-in-1 vaccines to ensure their children's vaccination schedule.
"If you get the 6-in-1 vaccine, parents do not need to get an additional shot of polio or hepatitis B vaccine depending on the type of vaccine like with the 5-in-1 vaccine," said Dr. Chinh.
According to estimates by the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF, vaccination is a wise financial investment because the cost of medical examination and treatment is 16 times more expensive than the cost of vaccination. For example, every 100 USD (about 2.5 million VND) invested in vaccination saves 1,600 USD (about 40 million VND) in medical examination and treatment costs.
In the context of many places lacking vaccines and many epidemics entering peak season, now with the support of VNVC Mobile App, users can easily manage all information about vaccines, vaccination schedules, injections and regimens when performing services. The appointment reminder feature integrated in the application helps users to remember to schedule booster shots on time, improving health protection efficiency.
VNVC currently has more than 40 types of vaccines to prevent nearly 50 dangerous infectious diseases for children and adults, especially vaccines with the same function as vaccines in the expanded immunization program such as the 6-in-1 vaccine (to prevent diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, hepatitis B, pneumonia/meningitis caused by Hib bacteria, polio), Measles - Mumps - Rubella vaccine, tuberculosis vaccine, Whooping cough - Diphtheria - Tetanus vaccine.
On the occasion of launching the VNVC Mobile App, from now until July 5, 2023, VNVC brings the program: "Discover the App now - Get free vaccines immediately", customers who open the VNVC App will have the opportunity to immediately receive Cholera vaccines or a 100,000 VND voucher for all types of vaccines ordered on the App with a bill of 300,000 VND.
