More than 120 students in the Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa were hospitalized after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, prompting Thanh Hoa to discontinue the use of that vaccine batch, but continue to vaccinate children with other batches of Pfizer vaccines.
Thanh Hoa has been immunizing children aged 15 to 17 years old since Nov. 30, but over 120 of them have had adverse responses to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, 17 of which were severe, the provincial Center for Disease Control (CDC) said on Dec. 2.
