Development assistance in Vietnam
Supporting COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery and Health Response in Vietnam
$18.3 million, 2020-24 (complemented by other Australian funding and donation of 26.4 million COVID-19 vaccine doses)
Australia's support through UNICEF and WHO will assist the successful introduction and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines in Vietnam, helping to set the foundation necessary for reaching the remainder of the population as vaccines are rolled out nationwide. Australia's delivery support funding will focus on strengthening the national immunisation system particularly in relation to improving cold chain capacity for COVID-19 vaccines. Australia also supports routine immunization outreach services to reach the most vulnerable children.
Support through the bilateral program will further enhance efforts under the regional Vaccine Access and Health Security Initiative.
