Whatzup - Breaking Cambodia Covid News on Outbreaks and Lockdowns

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Everyone can get a the shot and there is no cost.

Last part I can't confirm. I presume you need to show your passport (bit tricky for me as mine is off getting a visa extension, but I can show them a pic of the main page). My understanding is (and someone will correct me if I'm wrong) your phum chief (village head) will let your building know when you can go, and will issue the stamped paper. But on the other hand it could just be a mad free for all at the locations named. It does mention being invited though. :dm:

cheers ... guess I'll sit and wait and see what happens .. I am not that keen on rushing into getting the shot to be honest was kinda hoping sometime by end of the year one would be able to go to a Pharmacy and buy the shot / brand of your choice depending on availability . I think I'd prefer another to the free china one.

It won't hurt to get Sinovac now and if you're right you can get any other that may become available later. Some protection now is better than nothing, and all the more sooner things can get back to normal. If you can find out who your phum chief is it will probably help. Even my neighbours don't know who ours is.
