This observational study is designed as a cross-sectional survey of children from 6 months and 5 years old who visit the Vietnam Vaccination Center (VNVC) system in Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City for vaccination services.
After getting the informed consent form from a parent/guardian for their child(s) to participate in the study, nasopharyngeal swab sample will be taken.
