A second batch of the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine that Cambodia purchased
from China arrived in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, on Saturday.
Cambodia's
Health Ministry secretary of state Yok Sambath received the vaccine,
manufactured by Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech, at
the Phnom Penh International Airport, Xinhua news agency reported.
So
far, Cambodia had received more than 3.6 million doses of Covid-19
vaccines from China and the World Health Organization-led COVAX
Facility.
The kingdom launched an anti-Covid-19 inoculation drive
on February 10, focusing on high risk and vulnerable groups such as
frontline doctors and health workers, civil servants, teachers, armed
forces, journalists, garbage collectors and garment factory workers,
among others.
As of Friday, 1.24 million people had been vaccinated against the virus, according to a government report.
Sambath
said Cambodia is expected to acquire more than 20 million doses of
Covid-19 vaccines in order to inoculate at least 10 million of its 16
million population.
The Southeast Asian nation has registered a
total of 5,771 confirmed Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic,
with 3,311 receiving ongoing treatment and 39 confirmed deaths, the
Ministry of Health said on Saturday.
