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.

AKP Phnom Penh, July 22, 2021 --

Cambodia would get all the planned 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for 10 million people or 62 percent of the total population by the end of this month.

The information was shared by H.E. Dr. Yuok Sambath, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Health while welcoming the arrival of 1 million doses of Sinopharm Cambodia bought from China at Phnom Penh International Airport this morning.

The secretary of state continued that in August, 3 million doses of Sinovac would arrive in Cambodia and 2 million more in September for the vaccination of children between 12 and 17 years old.

According to H.E. Dr. Yuok Sambath, Cambodia will obtain 332,000 doses of AstraZeneca donated by Japan tomorrow*, and some 1 million doses of Johnson & Johnson via COVAX Facility in the near future.

With the newly arrived Sinopharm vaccines, Cambodia has received in total over 17 million doses of vaccines through purchase and donations: 6.2 million doses of Sinopharm, 10.5 million doses of Sinovac, and 324,000 doses of AstraZeneca/SII (COVISHIELD)*.

It's the other way round I think ? Sinovac is supposedly less efficient.
Still, IMO, better get the population vaccinated as much as possible. Better 50% than 0%.
