Associate Professor, PhD Le Thi Thanh Xuan - Head of Vaccination Department at Hanoi Medical University said that previously, Hanoi Medical University's Vaccination Team had soon deployed training on vaccines and vaccination safety for doctors, nurses and medical staff. During the implementation process, vaccination is carried out with a full process, from pre-vaccination medical declaration, checking health indicators, pre-injection screening, injection administration and post-injection monitoring. At the same time, special attention is paid to ensuring safety in COVID-19 prevention and control when carried out in a large hall with a capacity of 650 people.
Specifically, all subjects coming for vaccination at Hanoi Medical University must fully declare in the "COVID-19 Vaccine Pre-Vaccination Screening Form" to collect personal information related to medical history and drug use. People coming for vaccination are checked for heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, blood pressure, and SPO2 in accordance with the requirements of COVID-19 vaccination safety. Next, doctors screen and carefully check the health status of people coming for vaccination. Only people eligible for vaccination according to decision 2995/QD-BYT will be vaccinated.
At Hanoi Medical University, the vaccination process is also carried out in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Health. After finishing the injection, all subjects coming for injection must stay for at least 30 minutes to monitor and promptly handle any adverse reactions that may occur.
Associate Professor, PhD Hoang Bui Hai, Head of Emergency Department, Hanoi Medical University Hospital said: Monitoring and handling post-injection reactions is also very important. The hospital has proactively prepared an emergency area right at the post-injection monitoring site and prepared response plans and training for staff when complications occur during the COVID-19 vaccination process. Doctors and nurses specialized in Emergency Medicine are regularly assigned to the monitoring area to monitor and promptly handle incidents when incidents occur.
Up to now, after more than 2 months of implementation, Hanoi Medical University has safely vaccinated against COVID-19 for more than 7,000 students, trainees, employees and employees of Hanoi Medical University, 3,000 hospital staff, of which 683 staff have received the second injection, more than 10,000 staff of the President's Office, National Assembly Office, Central Inspection Committee. naughty,...All vaccination information is entered and managed on the National Vaccination Information System.
Aiming for a capacity of more than 1,000 injections/day, Hanoi Medical University has deployed one more injection point at building A5 of Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Hopefully, with this vaccination implementation plan, Hanoi Medical University can contribute to the Ministry of Health's strategy of both accelerating the speed of vaccination and ensuring safety in the largest vaccination campaign in the country's history.
