Cambodia has begun vaccinating three and four-year-olds with Chinese-made Sinovac shots after finding young children accounting for many new infections.
Prime Minister Hun Sen appealed for parents to get their children vaccinated as soon as they can and said five of his 21 grandchildren and one of his daughters have tested positive for the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
He had endorsed the vaccination plan for the younger children last week after health officials found at least 25 per cent of newly reported infections involved children under five.
