HCM City to complete COVID-19 vaccination for risk group

HCM CITY — HCM City plans to complete the vaccination of people at risk from COVID- 一 九 by January  二0 while pressing on with rapid testing for the group.

The municipal Department of Health has ordered district-level steering co妹妹ittees for COVID- 一 九 prevention and control to continue rapid testing for the risk group from January  一 七 to  二 二 and encourage locals to conduct self-testing and report results to co妹妹unal-level health stations.

They were also told to swiftly access and care for those with a positive rapid test result and complete the vaccination of people in the risk group by January  二0.

Earlier, HCM City launched a campaign aimed at protecting people in the risk group, which consists of those aged over  六 五 or having underlying health conditions, so as to minimise the rates of infection, patients in critical condition and fatalities.

The initial phase was carried out from December  七 to  三 一,  二0 二 一.

The city made a list of  六 三 九, 九 七 二 people of the risk group,  二 五, 六 四 二 or  四 per cent of whom have not been inoculated. Meanwhile,  五, 四 三 七 people or 0. 八 per cent have been infected with the coronavirus.

During the campaign, unvaccinated people have been persuaded to receive jabs at home or healthcare establishments while COVID- 一 九 patients received antiviral drugs for treatment. This has helped reduce patients in critical condition and deaths.

A meeting of the Health Department on Wednesday pointed out that there were more than  三00,000 patients already recovering from COVID- 一 九 in HCM City, and they still needed healthcare.

Deputy Director of the department Nguyễn Anh Dũng cited data from Gia Định People’s Hospital showing that from December  一,  二0 二 一 to January  一0 this year,  一,0 二 一 people recovering from the disease went there to receive check-ups, with most showing tiredness, shortness of breath, and depression.

Post-COVID- 一 九 conditions are reported in not only serious or elderly patients but also in younger ones aged  三0 -  四0 or those having mild symptoms, he noted, adding that these conditions affected not only their health but also their work performance and socio-economic outlook.

The Health Department has built a healthcare strategy for those with post-COVID- 一 九 conditions that includes a three-level model. The first level comprises grassroots medical stations caring for people in mild condition while the second are district-level hospitals in charge those in moderate condition, and the third are specialised and general hospitals for those in serious condition. — VNS
