Vietnam's Ministry of Health on November 11 announced 8,162 new cases, taking the total number of infections in the nation to 1,000,897.

The coming winter months, including the festive Tet season, may spark new Covid-19 outbreaks if people are not careful, the health minister warned Wednesday.

Nearly 792,000 children aging from 12-17 years old in Hanoi are expected to be vaccinated against Covid-19 in the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022.

Vietnam reported 8,129 new domestic cases of Covid-19 in 55 cities and provinces on Tuesday, up 175 against Monday.

Vietnam plans to begin giving Covid-19 booster shots either at the end of 2021 or early 2022, health minister Nguyen Thanh Long said Monday.
