@103.249.23.188: First, your number is WP:OR. I can't find any source claiming that Vietnam had received 39,500,000 doses of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine. The source provided here only mentioned how the MoH planned to distribute 20 million doses of Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine. The source did not state how many doses of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Vietnam. I'm not saying that you're wrong, I don't think I can prove that, but I can't find any reliable, published source that supports your claim. Meanwhile, the current figure (16,700,000) was used in "COVID-19 in Viet Nam Situation Report 62" published by the WHO. It might be outdated, but I consider it more accurate and reliable. Second, I don't recommend adding the number of doses donated by China. You can see that I didn't include these statistics in the table. The reason is that it is really difficult to track and we have to update it constantly. "Including additional doses donated by China" is enough. And the current version ("Including 5.7 million additional doses donated by China and 0.8 million doses donated by Guangxi province") is also misleading. The source only said that China pledged to donate three million more doses of vaccine to Vietnam this year (Trung Quốc cam kết viện trợ thêm ba triệu liều vaccine cho Việt Nam trong năm nay). That means China committed to supplying 5.7 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Vietnam in 2021 ("nâng tổng số vaccine Trung Quốc viện trợ cho Việt Nam lên 5,7 triệu liều"). The announcement did not state that 5.7 million doses of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine donated by China had arrived in Vietnam. And Guangxi is a part of China. Why we need to include "and 0.8 million doses donated by Guangxi province"??? Ltn12345 (talk) 13:47, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
