Jabs for workers begin April 7
Mon, 5 April 2021
The Ministry of Health will begin the first phase of Covid-19 vaccinations for nearly 100,000 workers on April 7, with Prime Minister Hun Sen urging vaccinations for workers in the informal economy to also begin as soon as possible.
Ministry spokeswoman Or Vandine: “Our vaccination plan is for 745,000 people, of whom 100,000 are workers. We’ve already reserved Covid-19 vaccines for them; nevertheless this vaccine cannot cover every worker. Those not vaccinated in the first phase will have vaccines provided to them once more jabs are available.”
Vandine said across the country the vaccination campaign was going smoothly but that it should be accelerated if possible because the vaccine protects human lives against the Covid-19 virus.
