This was stated by the Ambassador of Vietnam to Moscow Dang Minh Khoi.

“The COVID-19 vaccines used in Vietnam are currently approved at the request of the importer.

In order for other vaccines, including those from Russia, to be approved for use in Vietnam, vaccine importers must submit a complete dossier to the Ministry of Health of the republic for evaluation and approval in accordance with the current procedures and rules, ”TASS quotes the diplomat as saying.

So he noted the question about the possibility of approval in the country of other Russian vaccines, except for "Sputnik V".

In July 2021, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced the production of the first batch of Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine in Vietnam.
