Vaccinations?

February 10

  • Cambodia received 600,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine and 340,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
  • The AstraZeneca vaccine was reserved for people over 60.
  • The distribution began on Wednesday, 10 February.

March 7

  • Cambodian people were offered the vaccinations first, which is fine.
  • When it was announced that foreigners in International NGOs could receive, I went on Sunday morning , 7 March. There were no instructions on when or what to do so I went as a test case.
  • I found the program had been suspended because of overcrowding on Saturday, the day before.

March 18

  • On 17 March the Prime Minister established a national vaccination committee to plan and manage nationwide vaccinations.
  • The committee is to have nearly 100 (!) members and the Prime Minister said they “should follow my advice.”
  • So far, no news when we might be able to be vaccinated.
