The corporation plans to buy and give up to 20,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine to its employees and their family members.
On May 27, Hung Thinh held a ceremony at the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in Binh Dinh Province to donate money to the province for the purchase of 50,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine.
