Typhoon Molave slammed into the coast near Da Nang city on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.
The typhoon has affected more than a million people in central Vietnam, leaving destruction in its wake.
Around 375,000 people were evacuated to safety before Molave struck with winds reaching 85mph (145 km/h).
But as the typhoon moved west towards Thailand and Myanmar on Thursday, rescuers were scrambling to find survivors after several landslides in rural Vietnamese villages.
Rescuers have pulled at least 19 bodies from the mud across three villages in the central Quang Nam province, state media reported. The exact death toll remains unclear, with some reports suggesting the number could be higher.
