sites on time for the implementation of the plan.
At the conference, participants reported obstacles that hinder the vaccination
process and put forward measures to carry out the campaign in remote and
mountainous areas, preserve the vaccines at grassroots facilities, mobilise
medical workers and volunteers to help with vaccination work at the sites,

Speaking at the meeting, Toan assigned tasks to relevant sectors and asked them
to frequently update information from vaccination sites, especially on any
incidents in a bid to devise suitable and timely solutions.
The Hoa Binh Department of Health will soon build vaccine distribution plans
for prioritised groups, he said, suggesting that retired medical workers be
mobilised to ensure personnel for the drive./.
