I can confirm that when it is fresh it will smudge and if it gets wets it may continue to do so. I would hate to have to obtain a replacement card, I don't suppose they are geared up for that request yet.

I have had my card laminated at the little printing shop on street 51/200 Daun Penh, for 1000 riel.
(Opposite American International School - thanks @armchairlawyer for that tip)

This card might become extremely valuable and a must carry item in the near future, so it's well worth considering getting it protected while it's is good condition.

Thank you, "Rocker" Lawyer, via Doc for lamination tip. It goes in the passport bag. Is there a photo attached as another form of ID?

You could keep a PDF copy of the vaccine id on your mobile phone for easy access

I had trouble finding out who my Phum Head was, because apparently they have just got a new one and none of my neighbours knew who it was. Anyway I managed to get his phone number from the Sangkat and asked my English speaking neighbour to give him a call. I met him at the Sangkat 10 minutes later with my passport in hand and he filled out the forms and sent me straight up to Norodom School. Got a number but there were over 150 people ahead of me so I went home for a bit and went back. First room a quick consultation to vet whether they will give you the shot or not, second room they make up your plastic card, third room get the shot, and then 10 minutes sitting outside to make sure you don't have any adverse effects. I had a sore arm and a bit of nausea but pretty much fine. Phone reception seems the same but maybe I need the second shot to fix that.

TL:DR: if you want the shot, seek out your Village/Phum Head.

like the us ones or astra ? Even if at a price.

There should be some more AZ from COVAX in Cambodia at some point. But there's no way to know where or to whom that will be available. And there's been more Sinopharm recently arrive too, but same story there.

From the Senior Thai doctor quouted in Richard's article above:

“For our own people, it is okay because it helps the public health sector fight against severe symptoms and prevents deaths,” he said. “But in terms of foreign travelers, they could not have symptoms at all but still carry the disease and spread it.”

“That is why we cannot approve Sinovac for foreign travelers coming to Thailand.”

Makes sense in a Thai way I suppose, though bullshit to anyone else.

Meanwhile from the epicenter in Java:

Jakarta. Most of the 308 health workers vaccinated with Sinovac's Coronavac vaccine in Kudus, Central Java, a district recently hit hard by the novel coronavirus Delta variant, recovered from the disease last week, an encouraging indication of how the Chinese-made vaccine fare against the more infectious variant.

Badai Ismoyo, the Kudus district health department head, said administering the Covid-19 vaccine to health workers in the local area has proven effective in protecting them from the worst conditions.

"Today, 90 percent of health workers who are self-isolating can return to work and return to serving the community," Badai said in a statement on Friday.

"This is encouraging news. In addition, it also shows that the vaccine given to them is really effective in protecting against the worst conditions," he said.

As of June 12, 308 health workers in Kudus were tested positive for Covid-19 after treating patients with the disease in the region.

The Covid-19 spread in Kudus was rapid and massive, leading health officials to suspect that a new, more infectious virus variant had come to the region brought by Indonesian migrant workers returning from abroad.

A gene sequencing by the Gajah Mada University in Yogyakarta confirmed the suspicion. The university conducted gene sequencing on 34 virus samples from the district last week, finding 28 of them were of the Delta variant, a SARS-CoV-2 mutation first detected in India.

Still, the health officials take confidence in the limited spread of the virus among vaccinated health workers and the speedy recovery of those two who contracted the virus.

Badai said most of the health workers in the region received the Covid-19 vaccine during the government's vaccination program from January to March.

Kudus district used the Sinovac Covavac vaccine, which so far still accounts for more than 89 percent of Indonesia's vaccine supply.

As of June 17, 6,085 health workers and health support personnel in Kudus had been vaccinated with the first dose, and 5,888 people had received the second dose.

“Almost 100 percent of the health workers in Kudus, amounting to around 6,000 people, have received the first and second doses of vaccination," Badai said.

"Of this number, only 308 health workers were exposed or around 5.1 percent of the total number of health workers. Most of them have recovered and have started working again," he said.

Abdul Aziz Achyar, the director of Kudus's dr. Loekmono Hadi Regional General Hospital, said a total of 153 health workers at the hospital confirmed to have Covid-19. Only 11 people, or 7.1 percent, needed hospitalization. The other 86 (56 percent) used to be in self-isolation but now ready to work, following the rest of their colleagues who had recovered earlier.

The government's vaccination program focused on immunizing health workers first, before vaccinating workers in the services industry, civil servants, and the elderly. The government will start nationwide vaccination for the general population next month, although several provinces, like Jakarta, had done so last week.

In an attempt to stem the Covid-19 spike in Kudus, the Ministry of Health has dropped 50,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to accelerate vaccination coverage in the region.

"For now, we have intensified mass vaccinations in Kudus so that later we can slow down the transmission of Covid-19," H.M. Hartopo, Kudus district head, said.

Hardtopo said the spike in Covid-19 cases started with homecomers returning to Kudus.

"We need to inform people that people should not ignore health protocols even though they have been vaccinated. The vaccination itself is actually only a means of increasing immunity. So that if exposed to Covid-19, there are no severe symptoms," he said.

Ironic how the chinx foisted this scourge upon the global stage, yet are the least adept at creating a vaccine against it.
