VN has said it has a deal for 50 million to 150 million Sputnik V doses, plus it plans a deal with Pfizer and the Chinese. And it has dibs on 15.6 million doses from the COVAX program. So it should be well vaccinated by the end of the year.
Reality check.....
2021 has about 310 days left. There are 100.000.000 people in Vietnam. That's just over 322.000 people per day, if they would start tomorrow.
Keep on dreaming. It's a logistic nightmare given the sheer numbers. Simply not going to happen in that time frame.
True. Although, their over-60s population is only 11.4M, and over 50s is 22M, so even if they don't manage to get rid of the virus they can get the at-risk population down to where covid could be more reasonably described as "a bad flu" and the country could open up again.
