Preventive health workers are always the silent "warriors," pioneers in monitoring, controlling, and preventing epidemics. While not directly treating patients, they protect public health through essential measures such as vaccination, infectious disease prevention, and public health education.

Working in a difficult, dangerous, and harsh environment, Dr. Vo Thi Thuy Trang remains undeterred, always dedicated, responsible, and proactive in being present in high-risk areas and "epicenters of outbreaks" to monitor, isolate, and promptly handle infectious diseases, ensuring the health of the community.

In addition to being readily available at "hot spots," Dr. Trang, along with the leaders of the Department of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, proactively advised the Board of Directors of the Da Nang Center for Disease Control and Prevention on implementing preventive measures, developing plans and strategies for rapid response to disease outbreaks, and minimizing the risk of community transmission.

Typically, in 2025, in response to the complex measles outbreak, Dr. Trang and her team actively implemented timely preventive measures; advised on the development of an emergency response plan; launched a campaign to administer supplementary measles-rubella vaccines to high-risk individuals and children who had not received all doses; and coordinated catch-up and supplementary measles vaccination campaigns, raising the coverage rate to a safe level (over 95%).
