Read it somewhere that Vietnam is giving third dose of vaccine ? I read on the same forum that Vietnam is open for tourists. How many cases is Vietnam getting now a days ? Is it on the higher side ?

The government has given the greenlight to the selection of contractors to purchase 21.9 million Pfizer vaccine doses for children from 5 to 11 years old.
The government issued a resolution on Saturday, assigning the Ministry of Health to organize the purchase and vaccination for children from 5 to under 12 years old to ensure safety and effectiveness. It accepted to use the prime minister's provision of "choosing contractors in special cases."

It's a lot of money, but the soft power influence gained in Vietnam will be well worth it.

Nah, not much IMO. Going by this logic, India should have soft power in Pakistan with all the donated vaccine doses and whatnot. Vaccines being donated are more of a signalling for western media to look nice, and get a couple favourable articles.

Wow, good to know that you are thinking about vaccinating kids from 5 to 11. We even did not started thinking about it.
