Hello everyone,
As it seems that the Covax program has reached Cambodia, and it has the AstraZeneca vaccine, does anyone know if foreigners can get this vaccine and if yes, how do they get it?
There's also the Chinese vaccine which became available a few weeks ago.
Also, does anyone know what happens if you get one vaccine and then later you want to get another vaccine?

It was published recently that the AZ vaccine is only for people 60+ years old. If you're lucky enough to be 59 or less, it's the
Sinopharm mad bat testicle serum only for you.
I suspect the vaccine is being doled out on an invitation basis at the moment, how you get an invite in the big question.

Yes, from an announcement yesterday:
"With reference to the recommendations from Samdech Techo HE Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia made at the press conference to announce the vaccination campaign at Calmette Hospital on March 04, 2021, the Ministry of Health wishes to inform the public that on the voluntary basis and free of charge:
...
3. All foreigners aged 18 and above and who are on mission or business and staying in Cambodia including diplomats, officials of the UN agencies, international organizations, international financing institutions and businesspeople who have real/permanent residence in Cambodia are invited to choose either of the above two vaccines and a vaccination site and get vaccinated on a voluntary basis. "

That's good news. Do you have a link.
From what I read before, there were age constraints as to which vaccine you could get and I am too young to get the Astra Zenica vaccine which I would prefer to get.
But according to your post, the person can choose which vaccine they'd prefer?

Thanks for this information, that's great. In the article it says that the vaccine is available for foreigners who are.... "businesspeople who have real/permanent residence in Cambodia". I don't think I fall into that category. I guess this means I can't get it? Or maybe I can talk them into it?

does anyone know>
Do they test you to see if you have covid,
Before they vaccinate you?
What if ur asymptomatic and you than get the vaccine?
guess they weren't ready for all the Barangs
The Ministry of Health today suspended AstraZeneca vaccination in Phnom Penh, Kandal and Preah Sihanouk provinces due to overcrowding after thousands of people had rushed to get inoculated.
