Vaccination is considered one of the most successful proven measures of disease prevention in human history. This research aims to describe the situation of vaccination and analyze the association between epidemiological characteristics and deaths by Covid-19 in Dong Thap in 2021. The study applied retrospective method using secondary data based on the statistic of Covid-19 patients who were treated in Dong Thap. There were 13,709 patients whose information was collected from statistical data. The results showed that the percentage of unvaccinated patients was 20.4%, one-shot-vaccition patients was 14.3% and patients with 2 or more shots of vaccination was 65.3%. The mortality rate due to Covid-19 was 0.2%. Using multivariable logistic regression, the results showed that age and vaccination were the only two independent factors associated with mortality (p<0.05). The study suggests to increase vaccination against Covid-19 for community in order to create immunity and reduce the mortality rate when infected with Covid-19.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is considered as the most effective way to prevent the spread and mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in order to ensure the effectiveness of vaccination, monitoring and evaluation of the effect of vaccines to produce antibodies are always important. In this study, we evaluated the antibody concentration against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 after 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine on medical staffs at the Hanoi Medical University. There were 66 out of 68 (97.06%) study participants whose anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 reached the threshold that could make convalescent plasma products with high antibody titers according to the criteria of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. The average anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 of the group receiving 2 doses of AZD1222 (AstraZeneca) vaccine and the group receiving at least 1 dose of BTN162b2 (Pfizer) vaccine were 1202.33 and 4312.92 U/mL, respectively. In a total of 56 study subjects who received 2 doses of AZD1222 vaccine, we found a decrease in the anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in the group that received the 2nd dose over 90 days compared to the group under 90 days (p=0.044). At the same time, we did not find an association between adverse effects and anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 after the AZD1222 vaccination. These results once again emphasize the effectiveness of the vaccination campaign in Vietnam, as well as contribute to the importance of deploying booster vaccinations to ensure the maintenance of the protective effectiveness of the vaccine.

Objective: This study aims to summarize public health measures and its effectiveness against COVID-19 pandemic in different countries. Methods: Studies were searched from electronic database source of PubMed. The selection criteria are studies which used observational or trial designs to measure the effectiveness of one or more public health interventions in the control of COVID-19 pandemic. Results: 10 studies were matched with selection criteria. The public health measures were commonly used including social distancing, travel restriction and quarantine. Outcome of the evaluation was based mainly on the number of new cases by time. The effectiveness against the COVID-19 epidemic of each public health measure was different by countries and locals. The combination of all measures has been shown to be more effective in reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion: The public health measures have been shown the different effectiveness in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in the countries. The choice of appropriate measures should be depended on the context of each country and the features of the disease.

This study aims to investigate the changing patterns of pregnancy complications and maternity care service utilization in Southern Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic from January 2020 to February 2022. A retrospective cohort study was conducted by using secondary data from The District Health Information Software, a reporting platform operated by the Vietnam Ministry of Health. Results show that COVID-19 had a great impact to the utilization of the inpatient maternity care services, whereas the outpatient maternity care services were marginally affected. The percentage of women or infants receiving care one week after delivery in the third and fourth COVID-19 wave declined dramatically. During the second and third waves, the prevalence of pregnancy complications showed a clear upward trend but then decreased slightly in the fourth wave, after the COVID-19 vaccine was released. Introducing COVID-19 vaccine showed a positive effect on the reduction of pregnancy complications. This study emphasizes the need of strengthening the health system's preparedness capability to cope with the pandemic and future disasters.

Older people are the most vulnerable group to COVID-19 infection. Therefore, the use of health care services of the elderly may be significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was conducted to investigate the current health care utilization of the elderly in the COVID-19 pandemic and identify some associated factors in Duc Thang ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi in 2022. Results showed that 43.4% of the elderly wanted to use health care services but did not go within the last 3 months. The reasons for this were the fear of contracting with COVID-19 (60%), having COVID-19 (30.5%) and considering that their current health status is not serious/no need for urgent checkups (17.1%). The factors associated to the elderly’s health care utilization included: Predisposing characteristics (age group, risk perception about the COVID-19 pandemic); enabling resources (health insurance, moving, policies about the COVID-19 pandemic, health facilities’ resources, and waiting time); and need (perception about health status).

Objectives: This study primarily aimed to examine the impacts of the pandemic on women who were victims of domestic violence in Hanoi, Vietnam. Also, we explored the causes of domestic violence during the pandemic and women’s coping strategies in such situations. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied, using both quantitative data (n=303) and qualitative data (n=15) with the research subject of women who have experienced domestic violence. Results: There were 34%, 58.7%, 57.8%, and 25.1% of women suffering from financial abuse, physical violence, emotional violence, and sexual violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively. A high proportion of women (more than 70%) reported that they suffered more frequently during the pandemic comparing to the period of pre-pandemic. The prevalence of all types of domestic violence was higher in households which had to borrow money or sell assets due to the pandemic, compared with households without dept. The higher frequency of husband/partner’s drinking, the higher prevalence of domestic violence. The qualitative study disclosed that job losses or having no income were the main roots of domestic violence during the pandemic and alcohol consumption among husbands/partners also considerably played a role in exacerbating the events of domestic violence. However, more than half of them did not seek support to escape from violent events since they are perceived as personal or private issues, and no one could help them. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the domestic violence against women. Therefore, it is needed to prioritize and integrate domestic violence issues into prevention, response, and risk mitigation parts of COVID-19-related programs.

The Government, the National Steering Committee, and the Ministry of Health are the agencies that play an important role in deciding, leading and operating in the entire process of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. Through issued documents, these agencies showed their concerns and directions to relevant departments and sectors at all levels. Collecting and analyzing such documents will allow lessons to be learned from both successes and failures in each and all four phases of the pandemic. The analysis is mainly through a comparative comparison of these documents with the basic functions of public health, a basic theoretical framework developed by the World Health Organization experts based on fundamental principles agreed upon by member countries of the United Nations. Vietnam is one of those consensus countries. That theoretical framework is standardized in each participating country accordingly before being promulgated. In Vietnam, that stage was completed in 2001 with the approval of the Ministry of Health. The research conducted during this particular pandemic allowed the team to make initial observations on how these basic public health functions were applied in a factual and specific event. The research has shown the concept in an objective way that those public health functions are specifically understood and applied in each different epidemic wave and in emergency response situations during the pandemic. From there, the relevant lessons learned will serve as suggestions for future complete plans before similar situations may happen in the future.

Background: Covid-19 pandemic continues its complicated situation although vaccination campaign has been accelerated. There are still Covid-19 infections among those who have been vaccinated with various Covid-19 vắc xins. Objective: The study aims to examine the association between Covid-19 infection and vaccination status among people who contracted with Covid-19 in Khanh Hoa province in the second half of the year 2021 through comparison of (1) virus load based on Ct index; (2) length of stay in the health facilities; and (3) days of conversion to negative results of PCR test. Comparison of these three indices between AstraZeneca vắc xin and Verocell vắc xin was also made. Methods: Case series design was applied to recruit confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection. Non-parametric analysis was used to compare medians of variables of Ct values, length of hospitalization (by days), and days of negative conversion of PCR tests. Analysis was performed with R software. Results: Ct value median among people who have vaccinated fully was lower than those who haven’t vaccinated yet. The length of hospitalization among people who have been vaccinated or fully vaccinated were longer than those who haven’t vaccinated yet (13 and 14 days compared with 11 days). There was a need of 11 days for negative conversion of PCR test among Covid-19 cases who haven’t vaccinated yet, shorter than Covid-19 cases who have vaccinated (12 days). These three indices were better in people who vaccinated with AstraZeneca vắc xin compared with Verocell vắc xin. Conclusions: Among confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection, Ct median of people who haven’t vaccinated yet was higher than others. Shorter length of hospitalization was observed among people who haven’t vaccinated yet, and longer days of negative conversion of PCR test was reported in vaccinated people. There was primary superior evidence of AstraZeneca vắc xin compared with Verocell vắc xin.
