5-in-1 vaccine hits 2,500 doses in Thu Dau Mot city

After a disruption of vaccination, Thu Dau Mot city resumes its extended vaccination drive of 5-in-1 vaccine locally.

Accordingly, 14 Ward Health Stations simultaneously organized a campaign to administer the 5-in-1 vaccine on Thursdays every week, with expectation that in this round the city would administer approximately 2,500 doses of the 5-in-1 vaccine to children within the vaccination age range and those receiving catch-up and supplementary vaccinations.

The 5-in-1 vaccine prevents diseases such as diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (HiB) infection. The vaccine is used in the expanded immunization program, provided free of charge to children. To administer the vaccine to children, according to the Ministry of Health's guidelines, local authorities have proactively screened, listed, and informed families with children in the eligible age group to visit healthcare centers for immunization.
