Oz to assist with vaccine purchase
Thu, 24 December 2020
The Australian government has pledged to assist Cambodia with the speedy acquisition and equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines once they have been certified by the COVAX Facility.
In a statement to The Post on December 24, the Australian embassy said: “Australia welcomes Cambodia’s commitment to only procuring vaccines that are pre-qualified by the World Health Organisation [WHO], a position Australia strongly supports, as it is important for ensuring vaccine safety and efficacy.”
Australian ambassador Pablo Kang met with Minister of Economy and Finance Aun Pornmoniroth on December 23 to discuss Australia’s development cooperation with Cambodia, including plans and procedures for safe access to Covid-19 vaccines.

Coronavirus: Cambodia ‘not shunning’ China vaccines William Langley Cambodia s Prime Minister Hun Sen says his country will only take coronavirus vaccines approved by the World Health Organization. Photo: AP
The Cambodian Ministry of Health has rejected media reports that Prime Minister Hun Sen has publicly shunned the use of Chinese coronavirus vaccines.
Ministry spokeswoman Or Vandine said on Wednesday evening that a media outlet had falsely quoted a speech made by Hun Sen on Tuesday. Without naming the outlet, she said it had claimed Cambodia would not buy Covid-19 vaccines from China.
She said Hun Sen actually said Cambodia would only use vaccines approved by the World Health Organization. He also announced that the country would take part in the WHO-led Covax Facility vaccine scheme which grants lower income countries enough vaccines to inoculate 20 per cent of their population.
