Vietnam has received more than 4 million doses of vaccine supported by the German Government, more than 2 million doses by the UK Government, nearly 160,000 doses by the Portuguese Government, and nearly 100,000 by the Luxembourg Government through the COVAX Mechanism. Vietnam has now received more than 51 million doses through the mechanism.

Vietnam has received some 23 million doses of vaccines so far under the COVAX mechanism, signed contracts, and support from other countries. In a letter to World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom, however, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the country is facing a major outbreak of the Delta variant and suggested the organization give it priority in the upcoming COVAX vaccine distribution.
