Addressing a graduation ceremony of students at the Vanda Institute in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian PM said the government’s tough measures, together with high vaccination rates, have enabled the Southeast Asian nation to control the pandemic successfully, protecting millions of lives.
Cambodia has seen no new deaths from COVID-19 since April, as 90.9% of its population had been fully vaccinated with two required vaccine doses, the health ministry said the same day.
Also, about 63.6% of the people had received a third dose, 27% a fourth jab, and 5.4% a fifth shot, the ministry added.
China’s Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines have been widely used in Cambodia's immunisation programme./.
