Looks like these vaccines are happening! Are you registered? I have heard you not only need to register with your "group", i.e. building, work etc., but also need to be on the national list. Below is the link and the link the US Embassy's English instructions. If you haven't please do so. If you're not going to, none of us care what you think., so please ignore this post.

Also, If you are a US citizen who feels they have not been given equal access as Vietnamese citizens, please report to the embassy. According to Democrats Abroad, they want to hear from you. The agreement that we are treated equally (not better) is a key agreement in the vaccine donation.

Citizens are not allowed to leave their current residential city/province starting July 31st.

"PERMIT TO GO OUT" IS CANCELLED TO BETTER CONTROL THE NUMBER OF CITIZENS GOING OUT DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING
After 1 day of testing the "Permit to go out", the People's Committee of Vũng Tàu city decided to cancel the permits to better control the number of people going out during the social distancing. Alternatives have been proposed and I will update everyone with an updated list of websites for online ordering later.
On a brighter note, Vũng Tàu city is running a city-wide COVID-19 test to filter out COVID-19 cases within the community. The city also has published a vaccination plan for everyone in the city throughout July and August, which I am translating for everyone. And HCM city is observing a decrease in community cases after 1 week of the latest social distancing order.
Take care and stay healthy. THIS TOO SHALL PASS! 💪😁

Oh and one last-minute news, there has been an official dispatch no. 7490 from the People's Committee of Ba Ria city to withdraw the official dispatch no. 7475 of 13/07/2021.

If there are further updates, we will let you know.
Do believe that the city is trying their best to fight the pandemic and protect us citizens.
