PHNOM PENH — China will donate one million doses of its Sinovac coronavirus vaccine to Cambodia, the kingdom's strongman premier Hun Sen has said, thanking "friend" Beijing for its generosity.
While many countries reacted early in the pandemic by closing its borders to Chinese travelers, Hun Sen refused, and even travelled to Beijing to meet with leader Xi Jinping in a show of solidarity."Friend China is helping us with one million doses," Hun Sun said in an audio message on his official Facebook page, adding that the doses will vaccinate 500,000 people.
The first people to get the jab would include frontline health workers, teachers, soldiers, the premier's bodyguards, and officials around the king, he said. But more robust trials in Brazil demonstrated an efficacy rate of around 50 percent -- much lower than those of rival shots from Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca.A third trial in Indonesia -- where authorities this week kicked off a mass vaccination drive with CoronaVac shots -- showed an efficacy of 65.3 percent.
Philippines will receive 500,000 doses from China. Now who is more BFF to them.
