According to Mr. Thuong, VNVC has modern, clean and spacious facilities, especially the safe vaccination process that complies with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health. In addition, VNVC has a good screening and post-vaccination emergency treatment process, people can go to centers like VNVC for safe vaccination, increasing the effectiveness of the campaign.

VNVC has a GSP-standard refrigerated vehicle system, which is considered a "mobile cold storage" equipped with a backup generator, always ensuring that vaccines are transported and stored under standard conditions.

Doctor Bach Thi Chinh, Medical Director of VNVC Vaccination System, informed that on the first day VNVC deployed measles vaccination campaign in Ho Chi Minh City, nearly 200 children were vaccinated with MRVAC measles vaccine for free, many of whom were children in outlying districts such as District 12, Binh Tan, Hoc Mon, Binh Chanh, Cu Chi...

Previously, from the beginning of September 2024 to now, 39 VNVC vaccination centers in Ho Chi Minh City have injected more than 30,000 doses of measles vaccine for children under 10 years old, this is a very meaningful number contributing to Ho Chi Minh City's campaign to control and repel the measles epidemic this year.

In addition to free measles vaccination, parents also give their children other important vaccines such as flu vaccine, meningitis vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, hepatitis AB vaccine, etc. VNVC still applies the support of "vaccinate first, pay later" with no interest for up to 12 months, helping many families prevent diseases in time, reducing economic burden.
