The kingdom began vaccinating three- and four-year-olds with Chinese-made Sinovac shots after finding young children accounting for many new infections.

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday 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.
