Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines Corporation, on December 11 safely transported a batch of COVID-19 vaccine from Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao island of southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.

The vaccine will be used to inoculate adults and children aged between 12-17 in the island district.
