Exactly. My neighbors are both 50 years old and have been vaccinated. Yet, there are numerous elderly people here who havent been done. Im 60-years old and received nothing. Spoke to a guy in Dong Xoai, Binh Phuoc, he is 22 years old and has been vaccinated.As usual there is no uniformity, its organised chaos as per everything here.


My niece has been filing complaints with medical authority in BR-VT about us not being vaccinated despite being long past 65, with heart disease (husband), on the national registration for 5+ months, and the local registration for 6+ weeks.  Same response every time:  "Next batch."  I don't know what their definition of "next" is but this current batch is #8 in BR-VT already.

OTOH, all 120 adults in my extended family in Saigon have been *fully* vaccinated with AZ, Moderna, or Pfizer.


So sorry to hear that Ms Ciambella & a disgrace for sure. I was similar to you & registered on the National Registration for similar time, then at ward level at the management office, then on a register that the Emerald Support Group set up & if it had not been for my neighbour messaging Ms My that I was on the list for vaccine that afternoon & he would take me there I would have still been wondering when my turn would come like you :o & you know something I recon if I had just gone along to the vaccination place they would have just done me anyways cos they never asked for my text message to come (did not have one) I started to scan the bar code as you went in & a young lady just told me in good English to forget it & fill in the paper form.
I think I am very lucky to live within a large supported community at Celadon City where without my neighbours even Ms My was totally lost.

Thats not good, as you know we live in Phu Nhuan and like you say here is totally different, the old lady across street has had her 2 weeks ago, im 62 ive had 1st one so has GF, plus all of her family.

Bit disappointed that 65+ and those in high risk havnt been put first in your area.


65 + & high risk have not been prioritised in any area & if you think that an old lady getting her first vaccine 2 weeks ago has put her in some priority list.....well I will say no more other than the vaccine for non front liners has been rolled out in HCMC for more than 6 weeks now.


She has had 2 jabs the second 3 weeks ago,, she is near 80
Re reading i should have said 2nd jab sorry
Every one here got theirs 7th august she had already had first and since has had second, we are still waiting

Maybe if they centralised the registration and control procedures it would have been better organised.

An Phu committee have a bad reputation for their handling of the registration process, some buildings recieved notification of vaccines available for the over 65 age group and others had nothing. The process of registration itself is something we have been asked to do no less that six times, each time the same form and email address followed by silence. Those that did get their slot to go along have on occassions been turned away because they run out of vaccine ( if they have set numbers of people expected to then up how can this happen?)

Then there are those that queue jump in another district, I actually know a few people here that have done that. Registered in one district then take their vaccine elsewhere.. leaving one district s few doses short and another in surplus.

I also know of a few locals who are scared by both the mass testing and vaccination centers, surely not a good place to be if you are elderly of have existing health conditions.

I personally think if the health care providers all used a centralised registration and vaccination rollout then getting the vaccine to those at greater risk would have been more effective. Fear of getting sick and in many cases the vaccine origin itself are equally to blame, there is slot if misinformation going around.

Added to which, how many people have been vaccinated? I've had my first shot... Not that the app itself shows it and that was two weeks ago, with my next one sure soon how the hell are we supposed to get yellow or green status if they are either too far behind updating records or not bothering at all.

I didn't pay any attention at the time, but surely the vaccines have some form of barcode that could have been either recorded on your vaccination certificate or scanned?

Sorry i was not clear, she has had 2, her second was 2 weeks ago, the rest of st has had 1 on 7th august, we are awaiting 2nd shot.
She is around 80 years old and was first to get before anyone, she was taken there by ward lady, as she is very frail and must have been a worry to the ward lady to take her long before anyone in the st.

Before Covid, we ate *a lot* of fruits, so for each season, I bought 20 kg of each kind directly from a friend's farm.  One year, mango and papaya became ripen faster than we could eat, I had to ask Colin's wife to take them off our hands. 

Masks were the 95N from 3M which we brought hundreds with us when we moved here (daughter wanted to make sure our lungs were protected from pollution.)  When the first phrase of Covid happened and VT was not in any danger, we were happy to share with friends and family members who needed them. 

Colin has met my family because he came to the house.  My husband and him also met while they were both riding on the streets.  VT is small, living here long enough, you'd meet the same people all the time.
