Currently the epidemic caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely affected many countries, facilitating the vaccination program worldwide. However, whether or not to vaccinate is still controversial, including Vietnam. We recognize that the different attitudes of people after reading the information regarding the COVID vaccine may partly influence the decision to use the vaccine in the future. This study aims to investigate the attitudes of Vietnamese people on the Internet by 2020. We searched for articles on mainstream media online newspapers in Vietnam. Then proceed to collect and classify comments from electronic articles based on the set criteria. Articles containing information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine from early January to early December 2020 in Vietnam. There were 273 articles including 8711 comments related to COVID-19 vaccines compiled. The percentage of supportive comments related to vaccines was 14,3%, which was 6 times higher than the proportion of negative comments (2,4%). The topic with the most supportive comments is the results of the vaccine (20.3%). In the topic of articles, the highest proportion of agreeable comments was in the results of vaccines (20.3%) and the second-highest was in the process of vaccines (17.1%). The percentage of unagreeable comments in the origin of vaccines was higher than that in the process of vaccines with 2.8% and 2.6% each. The proportion of unagreeable comments in the results of vaccines was the lowest at 1.3%.
