The head of the preventive health agency announced on April 4 that a sufficient amount of Tamiflu has been stored for the fight against the deadly H5N1 virus.
According to Dr Nguyen Huy Nga, director of the Preventive Health Department of the Health Ministry, Vietnam will receive around 71,000 doses of Tamiflu out of the 500,000 doses that the Japanese Government pledged to give to Southeast Asian countries.
At its regular meeting, the National Steering Board for Prevention and Fight against Avian Influenza in Humans requested that localities reinforce their preventive measures against avian flu in both poultry and humans.
Related agencies are required to work closely at border checkpoints as well as air and water routes in order to detect suspected cases in a timely manner.
Information on avian influenza was broadcasted by 15 provincial and municipal TV stations. It will also be aired in 10 ethnic minority languages on the radio soon.
