A young girl gets her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on September 17. KT/Chor SokuntheaPrime Minister Hun Sen announced that the vaccination campaign of 3 to 5 year old children against COVID-19 will begin tomorrow.
He called on parents to bring their children to receive the jabs to immunise young children against the coronavirus, particularly the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
“The Omicron virus has been spreading among small children, and it is crucial for us to protect then,” he said during an inauguration event this morning.
Mr Hun Sen announced his approval of the vaccination of 3-5 year old children on Thursday last week.
The premier said that the major decision was made based on the finding that 25 percent of the those who have been infected with the Omicron variant are young children under the age of 5.
He also revealed that his 21st grandson had tested positive for the virus.

Jakarta. The total number of active Covid-19 cases reached a new high on Thursday and surpassed the previous record when the Delta was the dominant variant in the mid of last year.
Indonesia currently has 586,113 active coronavirus cases, beating the previous record high of 574,135 cases on July 25, government figures show.
But the current Covid-19 situation is very different from last year: the surge in caseloads doesn’t translate to a spike in hospitalizations.

Indonesian researchers recently began phase one clinical trials of a domestically produced COVID-19 candidate vaccine, a development that may bring the country closer to producing its first homegrown coronavirus jab.
.
Airlangga University and partner PT Biotis Pharmaceuticals, which have developed the candidate vaccine under the Merah Putih initiative, claim that if the clinical trials are successful, the vaccine may be mass produced by July or August of this year.
.
The effort to produce a homegrown vaccine started in the early days of the pandemic as the country sought to achieve vaccine self-sufficiency amid an international scramble for scarce supplies.
