Because there has been a rumor that five-in-one vaccine Pentaxim was injected at homes, the Department of Health has sent urgent document to medical units, claiming that no medical clinic or a person was allowed to administer vaccine at homes, said Director of the Department of Preventive Medicine Dr. Nguyen Nhat Cam on May 20.
To protect children’s health and safety, the health authority prohibited immunization at homes.
Dr. Cam warned that as per the current regulations, medical clinics are not allowed to vaccinate at home, accordingly, people should not believe in a person who administer vaccine at home in the name of medical workers and vaccination at home is illegal.
Additionally, Dr. Cam advised parents to take their kids to legal medical facilities for vaccination.
