Not many really is it. I thought the original promise was 20% of population, that's more like 4-6%

I've read that Cambodia is aiming to vaccinate 10m adults, so it's about 10%. COVAX has just received pledges for $2.4B towards the project so maybe they will ramp up their rollout.

US embassy guard gets Covid despite two doses of Pfizer jab
Post Staff | Publication date 04 June 2021 | 17:17 ICT

The Covid-19 tracking commission on June 4 said a security guard at the US embassy in Phnom Penh had contracted the novel coronavirus, despite having received a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech shot two weeks ago.

Embassy spokesperson Chad Roedemeier confirmed the SARS-CoV-2 infection to The Post.

“The employee is in strict quarantine and getting appropriate medical attention,” he said. “The embassy is working closely with Cambodian health authorities to ensure we meet all government health requirements to prevent any further spread of Covid-19.”

Roedemeier declined to elaborate due to privacy concerns.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that in some rare instances, people may still contract the pathogen even after full vaccination. The global UN health body urges vigilance at all times.

But at just two weeks after having received his second dose, the security guard may not have built up sufficient immunity to prevent infection.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautions that it usually takes the body two weeks after inoculation to develop an immunity against the coronavirus, but it could take longer.

“You are not fully vaccinated until two weeks after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a one-dose vaccine,” it said.

Attention Lucky shoppers !

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: On the afternoon of June 4, 2021, officials confirmed that Lucky Supermarket at the Chroy Chongva roundabout has a Covid-19 patient who went to buy some goods at this location.
Citizens who have visited this store this afternoon (4 June) are asked to go for a Covid-19 test or to self-isolate at home for a few days if there are no symptoms.

I doubt they will be bringing any of the ones that need to be stored at -70C here. And I wouldn't trust them if they did.

They can probably get here just fine and be stored in Phnom Penh by competent authorities just fine. Beyond that it’s questionable. I bet people would travel to PP for it.
