Vietnam made tremendous progress in its vaccine rollout 

As of the end of June 2021, only 5% of Vietnam’s population over the age 18 was vaccinated with around 0.3% fully vaccinated. However, Vietnam made tremendous progress in its vaccine rollout in H2 2021. As of end-2021, more than 90% of Vietnam’s population over age 18 was fully vaccinated and nearly 56% of children aged 12-17 were fully vaccinated. The country’s rapid vaccination rollout helped to reduce the fatality rate to 1.9% as of the end of December 2021 (vs 2.5% in September 2021) and aid the reopening of the economy.
