John Paul Pullicino, CEO of Pfizer Vietnam, made this commitment Wednesday at an online meeting with Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long.

This is a good development in the current circumstance, Long said. The vaccines will be administered to Vietnamese children and teenagers in the 12-18 age group.

The U.S. approved Pfizer’s vaccine for children and teenagers in May.

The 20-million batch is part of a commitment by the corporation to provide 47 million Covid-19 doses to Vietnam.
