The press release stated that Phnom Penh and Takeo and Ratanakiri provinces will suspend Sinopharm first doses as of March 14.
It is unclear which hospitals in the capital will still be administering first Sinopharm doses up until March 14, but those interested must be registered with local authorities and receive an invitation to be inoculated.
Second doses of Sinopharm will continue to be administered and the ministry said those in the 18-59 age group should return to the site where they received their first dose to receive a second one.
