Answer:

Until now, there have been no A H1N1 case reported in Vietnam. However, Vietnam has taken strong and active measures to prevent and respond to the epidemic, such as to increase quarantine control at border gates, strengthen pork import supervision, closely follow the situation in order to detect the first case and prevent the epidemic from spreading... The Vietnamese Ministry of Health has recommended the public on preventive measures. We also worked closely with the WHO, other countries and international organizations to prevent this epidemic.

At present, Vietnamese competent agencies have not made any decision to suspend the pork import.
