Phnom Penh (FN), Nov. 1 – So far, Cambodia has vaccinated 13,706,107 people aged 6 years and above, of which 13,056,188 received second dose and 1,831,190 received third dose.

Cambodia’s vaccination program completed eight months ahead of plan. The successful vaccination makes Cambodia the number one country in Southeast Asia and one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.

The success was driven by Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen’s wise leadership, cooperation between relevant authorities, participation of Cambodian people, and cooperation between Cambodia and the international arena.

Samdech added that he has enough inputs from relevant officials to assess the situation properly. He said he made the right decision by choosing China as a strategic supplier of vaccines and other countries as supporting suppliers.

"We study potential countries that can become Cambodia’s vaccine supplier. We decided to choose China as our strategic vaccine supplier, while other countries are supporting sources,” the premier underlined.
