Rationale: To prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic, the biggest immunization campaign in history had been deployed worldwide. Therefore, it is important to inform the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) to populations. Objectives: To prevent vaccine hesitancy, this study focused on finding the common AEFI with the COVID-19 Comirnaty vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) among participants aged 18 and above and related factors in Hanoi, Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to collect participants’ data and AEFI after being vaccinated at Hanoi Medical University, Vietnam, in 2021. Logistic regression was utilized for analyzing the correlated factors of AEFI. Results: We recruited a random sample of 820 participants who received both basic doses of Pfizer vaccine in September and October 2021. The proportion of AEFI after the first dose, second dose, and both doses of Pfizer vaccine was 24.4%, 64.2%, and 18.5%, respectively. AEFI mostly appeared within 1 day and lasted for 1 to 2 days. The AEFI were more common in females (OR=1.7; 95% CI=1.25–2.29) and younger age groups (OR=1.9; 95%CI=1.37–2.58). History of allergy, allergic diseases, chronic diseases, and occupations were not statistically significant with AEFI Conclusion: Our findings indicated that the COVID-19 Comirnaty vaccine
is safe to be injected. Gender and age group are important factors
influencing AEFI.

Risk Management and Healthcare Policy
Purpose: New COVID-19 variants pose great challenges in protecting the success of vaccination programs. Awareness of community
becomes an important component to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study aims to analyze people’s awareness of COVID-19
and identify the implications for optimal risk communication in Vietnam.
Study Methods and Materials: A total of 341 individuals participated in an online cross-sectional study. Community awareness on
COVID-19 was examined by using a structured questionnaire. Multivariable Tobit regression was used to examine associated factors
with community awareness.
Results: Our results indicated high levels of awareness of local COVID-19 situation, transmission risks, and preventive behavioral
practices during the first week of social isolation. Higher awareness of local pandemic situation was associated with female
respondents (Coef.: 6.19; 95% CI: 0.51; 11.87) and larger family sizes of above 5 people (Coef.: 9.00; −1.00; 19.00). Respondents
between 35–44 years old were shown to be less aware of preventive behavioral practices than other age groups, including the group of
participants above 44 years old (Coef.: −0.34; 95% CI: −0.67; −0.02). Lastly, participants who were “fairly satisfied” with information
resources had awareness levels of preventive behavioral practices lower than that of “unsatisfied” respondents (Coef.: −0.45; 95% CI:
0.74; −0.16).
Conclusion: This study offers crucial insights into the pandemic awareness of citizens and risk communication effectiveness during
COVID-19 in Vietnam. The study findings shall serve the development of policies and interventions aimed at empowering individuals
in the local and global fight against coronavirus

This study aimed to describe mental health service utilization and examine associated factors among students in Vietnam. Data were collected at eight universities in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2018 using an administered questionnaire. The total number of participants was 9,120 (95.1% response rate). Among stu dents participating in our survey, 12.5% (95% CI: 10.9–14.1) with depression and/or anxiety symptoms used mental health service in the last 12 months. In the multivariable regression models, significant factors associated with mental health ser vice utilization were marital status, types of housemate, men tal health problems, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol drinking. Our study made recommendations to stake holders for improving mental health services utilization among students in Vietnam. These findings had important implica tions for future research on factors associated with mental health service utilization among university students.
