Foreigners over the age 18 can register online for COVID-19 vaccines.
Option One: Directly via the COVID-19 vaccination portal
Option Two: Via the E-health app for phones using Android and iOS that can be downloaded here
Data collected will be transferred to vaccination venues. The venues will screen registrants, confirm their information, and make a list of people to prioritise. Once registered, users will be notified as vaccines become available. They will be given an appointment for screening and will be informed about their vaccination schedule. The registration portal is currently in Vietnamese, but an English version is expected to be launched in the coming weeks.
The vaccination registration portal is administered by the Viet Nam’s Ministry of Health and subject to the laws and regulations of Viet Nam. Please direct any enquiries to your local health authorities. Be aware that being registered on one of those platforms doesn’t necessarily mean you will automatically be vaccinated in the short term. Vietnam is currently struggling with a short supply of vaccines and therefore you will be asked to be patient.
