After a thorough evaluation process, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has decided to choose Long Chau Vaccination Unit to accompany the campaign to provide free measles-rubella vaccination, in order to speed up the vaccination rate for unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated children, and quickly repel the measles epidemic in the city.
Long Chau Vaccination Center System will receive measles-rubella vaccine from District Medical Centers of Ho Chi Minh City and Thu Duc City and carry out completely free vaccination for the prescribed subjects.
From September 16, all Long Chau Vaccination Centers in Ho Chi Minh City will begin participating in the free measles vaccination campaign.
Accordingly, all children from 1 to 10 years old in the city who have not been vaccinated or have not received 2 doses of measles vaccine within the past month will be required to participate in this vaccination campaign. All of the above mandatory vaccination cases are 100% free of charge when vaccinated.
Long Chau Vaccination Centers will also operate at “full capacity”, even on weekends, to serve people, helping the disease control campaign of the Department of Health and the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control to be carried out quickly and effectively.
From September 16, according to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, there will be 60 more measles vaccination points at private medical facilities (operating throughout the day, including Saturdays and Sundays), to create the most favorable conditions for parents to take their children for vaccination.
The Department of Health requested vaccination units to direct their affiliated vaccination facilities to coordinate with local medical centers to implement the free measles vaccination campaign until the end of the campaign. The city's vaccine source will be provided by local medical centers.
