Vaccines required in Cambodia

Hello everyone,interesting question indeed considering the psycholical pressure some of us are feeling those days. I did not agree to get vaccinated in 2006 - date when i did moved from France to Thailand. The reason is personbal, i don't want to be misunderstanding replying to these questions, i am not looking to look good, bad, crazy or whatever else, for me we, humans, should have the right to choose our treatments, to agree or not about the " specialists " presciptions, it's touch to our basements of our freesom. So in my case I did refuse and the reason is than basiquelly it's in the interest of the doctors and the big labs to keep their clients "sick" or let's says in a psychological need for a chemical support.

I understood these when i was diagnosed with a high blood pressure issue - i was 30 years old and I was chocked when it was told to me than the médecine they prescribed to me was forever - correction - was to be taken from that day until the day I die, they are prescribing médecine for a life time.

It was a chock and a wake up call.
How effective is a médecine unable to cure ?

I just gave up those pills and the vaccine and today at 50 years old i am feelling good thanks.

Again everyone have to be free to decide on that matter.

I will do finish these text by sharing with you an interesting point of view of a modern mystic - official advisor for the UN yoga program his name his Sadhguru - during a very interesting talk with a scientist friend of him he highlight than our mind works taking things appart to understand them - it means if you wish to understand how a microwave works you will open it and separate all pieces  part of it to analyse them.

When it comes to modern medecine, our doctors are following these method and it literally creates miracle if we speak about replacing a part of our body, it works when it's "mechanical", because of our sharp mind we humans are able to conceive amazing machines.

Unfortunately if you open my body will you know me ? Will you understand me ? These technic forever us today to look for new ones able to consider the human mind and body working together as part of a big all  Because from my understanding if we are magicians for the body our knowledge is almost zero when it comes to cure alzheimer's cases or all sort of cancers.

Currently, no vaccinations are required in Cambodia.  However, that could change with the newest outbreaks throughout Phnom Penh.

You will probably need to have a Covid-19 test before booking a flight and upon arrival.  The test may not be more than 72 hours old.

When you arrive you will also be tested to make sure you do not have any sexually transmitted disease.

This is what I know.  I have been living here in Phnom Penh since December of 2019. I have started pill doses of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, to prevent Covid.  These pills are all available in most pharmacies here without a doctor's prescription.  Vaccinations are arriving here, but not sure when the majority of the populace will receive the first dose.

I hope this is helpful.

I have not herd about any vaccine requirement for KH yet...
Persinally i am in general not for vaccines...i had all childhood sicknesses...including mumps and chicken pox, i never had any vaccines before moving to TH or KH...not did i for my extensive travels to Africa and South America.
Cheers

This is not true, no test for STD's when entering Cambodia.

A covid-free test has to be submitted, later vaccination passports or certificates might make entering easier.

Hello Diksha.

There are no vaccinations required to enter Cambodia, at the moment.
Future vaccinations against covid 19 will be free, also for expats.

I have not got any vaccination after the 4 I got as a child and 2 when in the military. I got most childhood diseases where doctors now want to vaccinate against, and after a one time experience never had those diseases again.

I believe in building up your own immunity, as a boy I played outside, getting hurt and wounded sometimes but it contributed to my immunity.

Today's children get like 55 vaccinations in the first 2 years of their life. Crazy.

I'm generally against vaccinations because of the harmful ingredients and side effects.

On top some are totally useless, like the flu shot against seasonal flu.
It exists already 60 years and each year it is changed, but as there are many strains of flu the vaccines miss their targets.

Don't know if anyone noticed that there are hardly any deaths from seasonal flu.
That is because the covid test cannot diversify which virus is present, as the inventor mentioned himself the test is to indicate A virus, without specifications.

It is then logical that all flu cases are counted under covid, that explains a reduction of more than 90% of the seasonal flu.

Big Pharma is very powerful and has the target to let people take medicine for the rest of their life, added by medicine against the various side effects of the initial medicine.

They don't cure you, they maintain your disease as long as possible.
A cured patient does not bring any profit.

They don't practice healthcare, but instead disease management.

Ooh, topical question, Diksha!

Plenty of potential angles to consider, so I'll answer systematically:

First of all, It needs making clear that people coming from Europe to Asia for holidays are generally over-medicated. Of course, it's better to be safe than sorry and the first time I travelled I also got a variety of jabs beforehand, as recommended by every available source of repute. I can't remember now, how many or what for (one of the hepatitis'... I think?). Nor did they cause me any noticable ill-effects, I don't think.

However, unlike many, I didn't take malaria tablets while away. Those I met who did take them, all complained of either feeling ill, having night terrors, having weird mood swings, insomnia, paranoia or assorted other unpleasantness.

I mention this as an illustration of my point. Whether malaria, hepatitis, scarlet fever or whatever else, holiday-makers are routinely not told realistic odds of actually contracting a tropical disease, so can't weigh risks/ side-effects in anything like an informed way.

This is borne out by the many, many expats living in Asia whose vaccines long-since ran out and who have (mostly) lived here happily and successfully for years and decades without the benefit of things like malaria tablets. The prevailing attitude is an acceptance that horrid diseases are possible, tempered by an awareness of their relative rarity. I have lived here and in Thailand, in the city and in provinces for about 8 years now. I take no more precautions than I would in Europe and I have never been badly ill.

The flip-side of this, of course, is when you DO get unlucky, as some inevitably must. My friend has had malaria and, twice, dengue fever. He confirms that they are VERY unpleasant things to suffer from! But even worse things are possible: Mosquitos can also carry such horrors as Japanese Encephalitis, a sickness so severe that survivors are often left with cerebral palsy.

But, then again, are these things travellers are immunised against? As far as I remember, no.

The point here is that being in the tropics is always something of a lottery, whether vaccinated or not. I think many of the jabs travellers get are pointless and undoubtedly do more for peace-of-mind than health. Getting a hep' jab or a tetanus top-up is probably not a bad idea. But if anything is going to cause side-effects, I'd rather take my chances.


As far as the Covid jab is concerned: I'll take it!
I'm not particularly worried about getting sick from Covid.. I'm young and healthy and I'll very likely recover.
No, this vaccine is all about allowing me the freedom of movement that, as a globe-trotter, I value so highly.

It was announced today that foreigners will be able to get vaccines free here. Although I would probably prefer a western vaccine than a Chinese one, I am not concerned about any ill-effects (or being sterilised by Bill Gates' 5G microchips): I have a decent basic grasp of science and I will take my jab with earnest enthusiasm.
