Many people from Hang Trong, Cua Nam, Tran Hung Dao and Hang Bong wards of Hoan Kiem district showed up at a kindergarten on Tho Nhuom street waiting for their turns to get COVID-19 vaccine jabs. According to a plan, 800 people in this area will be vaccinated in the first phase. |
Before getting vaccinated, people had to have their temperature measured and blood pressure checked. |

People with underlying medical conditions or certain allergies will not be vaccinated. Each mobile vaccination point in Hoan Kiem district had at least one emergency crew and ambulance. |
16,000 doses of vaccine, including 7,000 Moderna doses had been allocated to Hoan Kiem district, and they were injected to local people on July 28. |

All people were required to rest on site for 30 minutes after getting the shot. The medical workers asked the vaccinated people to contact health centers if they had any serious symptoms. The people would receive a certificate of vaccination after 7 days. |
