They are giving 3rd injections in Israel, and everyone else plans to regardless of the manufacturer.

Anyone wanting a third shot (AstraZeneca) can now get it at Preah Ang Duong Hospital. It must be four months since your second dose otherwise they won't do it.

Starts at 7am and they do 200 shots, and then again at 2pm, another 200. Take a number at the desk at the entry on Norodom opposite CIMB Bank, and head up the ramps to E2.

They're also doing first/second doses (Sinovac) on the ground floor if you haven't had these yet.

Limited supplies of AZ left so get in quick if you want it. Take your vaccination card and passport.

Might have got buried in another thread, but there's also info here for getting a Sinovac booster post516297.html#p516297

Which raises the question: If one has already had 2 Sinovac shots, should they get another Sinovac booster or an AZ booster?

I believe getting AZ would improve your overall protection because it's a different type of vaccine. i.e you'd have a broader protection than Sinovac alone. If you think back several months they were trialling mix'n'match shots for that exact reason. Early trials of one AZ plus one Pfizer were quite promising.

Just got my 3rd sinovac and watched them update my online file.
Neighbor snagged a queue number for me and when I arrived the army guys pushed me and another old Khmer guy past about 200 people waiting- and done in 15 minutes.

I looked specifically for studies on the effects of mixing Sinovac and another vaccine booster. Turkey and Thailand have/are doing that.

Some results from Turkey suggests 3 shots of Sinovac are better than mixing Sinovac/Pfizer ie 3 doses of inactive vaccines, rather than in those who received two doses of inactive vaccines and one booster shot of an mRNA vaccine (the rest of the article is pay walled). As AZ is an inactive vaccine, maybe that's OK too?

There seems to be no study results yet on mixing Sinovac and AZ even though the governments of Turkey, Thailand and Cambodia say it's OK to do. Plus in some countries AZ is not recommended for young people.

Did they move you to the front because you’re also old or a barang?

Well obviously the authorities here have decided to go this way. They're reserving what's left of the AZ for third shots only. I mean, if you'd prefer a third Sinovac instead, just wait a month or two longer for them to run out of AZ. They got in 6m more doses of Sinovac so I'm not sure what that's for if not third shots.
