Cambodia: Cambodia Rapid Immunization Support Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility
The project is aligned with the following impacts: (i) severity of the pandemic reduced, lives saved, and social disruptions minimized; and (ii) negative health, social, and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic mitigated. The project will have the following outcome: about 10.12 million people in target populations vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19.
The project will support the procurement of an estimated 14.5 million doses of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines via the APVAX rapid response component (RRC) and the AIIB loan. It will contribute to the government's goal of strengthening population immunity by providing booster doses and primary vaccination to children below 5. The project will also help to develop and disseminate social and gender-inclusive guidelines to ensure equitable coverage of COVID-19 vaccination

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Cambodia was largely successful in controlling coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 2020. An outbreak in February of 2021, however, led to widespread closures of schools and business and a lockdown in Phnom Penh and other heavily impacted areas until the fourth quarter of 2021. As of 3 January 2022, Cambodia had 120,516 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 3,014 deaths. Cambodia launched its vaccination campaign on 10 February 2021 and has administered over 28 million doses, covering over 80% of its total population of 16.7 million. It has also provided booster doses to 21.8% of its population. Despite the country's success in rolling-out COVID-19 vaccination, its health system remains highly vulnerable to a surge in new infections linked to variants such as Delta and Omicron. | ||||||||
