PHNOM PENH, Aug 29 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Ministry of Health spokeswoman Or Vandine urged the public not to discriminate among the different Covid-19 jabs available, saying they had all undergone thorough studies and clinical trials before being put into use.

Vandine, who is also head of the national Covid-19 vaccination committee, made the remarks on August 26 after Prime Minister Hun Sen hinted that the Chinese-made Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines would be the main jabs used as booster doses as the government had sufficient supplies of them.
