Pav Sina, President, Collective Union of Movement of Workers says, the government’s aggressive vaccination campaign will help the Cambodian garment and textile sector return to full operation starting early next year/ Sina hoped after successful vaccination drive in Phnom Penh, the government will accelerate vaccination program to workers in the provinces.

At present, the vaccination drive is focused in the capital, which has resulted in the garment and textile sector being badly impacted by the pandemic, Sina said. The government began its vaccination program for the garment and textile sector in April. Until May it had vaccinated over 200,000 garment workers in Red Zones in Phnom Penh. Sina said almost all workers in Phnom Penh have been vaccinated while those in the provinces are waiting for the inoculation campaign to commence.
