Subject: Joint International Chambers Initiative - Foreigners COVID Vaccine List
Dear Members of AmCham,
As you are aware, foreigners are able to get the COVID vaccine from the Royal Government which is for free.
Officially Foreigners are to register using the Government’s APP [
http://cambodia-vaccine.gov.kh/login] or register via your company of work. Then wait for contact. While these are valuable channels, more robust data collection is needed to support the Royal Government’s data collection efforts for logistics and implementation of the vaccination, especially as relates to foreigners residing in Cambodia
It has been discussed between various Joint International Chambers that it may be good to provide a list of foreigners who are willing to get a Vaccine and submit this list collectively under the name of the Joint International Chambers.
Initial discussions with the Government have been to collect a list of willing foreigners.
The list would be submitted to the Ministry of Health (MoH) seeking their support to assist the people named in the list whereby the MoH could better coordinate communications and logistics.
At this point in time, there is no guarantee or commitment from the Royal Government of:-
1. If a vaccine will be given;
2. Which vaccine will be given; or
3. When the vaccine will be given
This process to submit your name is completely voluntary and at any point anyone can withdraw from the process, as providing your name does not commit you to the vaccine which may not be your choice. However, being on the list will likely increase chances of being vaccinated at this point.
The purpose of this list is to be proactive to the Government. The collection of data is intended to provide data to the government to schedule vaccinations. Again, this will be dependent upon the Royal Government.
The Process
1. Each member would be required to submit data into the “Official Government” data base using the following link [
http://cambodia-vaccine.gov.kh/login]. English instructions are attached.
2. Simultaneously, each member of a Chamber will click the following “Joint Chamber” Link and compete the data requirements [
https://forms.office.com/r/DKGbUvUpLP ].
3. Only register once with one Chamber. Please note that all names go into the same database list.
4. Requirements:-
a. Only Foreigners can submit into the form. However, feel free to submit names of Khmer Spouses or your direct related Children over 18, however, there is no guarantee that they will be accepted by the Government as Khmer Nationals may follow a separate process. Only Direct Family – spouse and direct related children.
b. Only Members of a Chamber can submit.
c. Foreigners, but Non-Members of a Chamber can submit, but must choose the field showing a “Chamber Non Member”. We will still submit the data but in a different list.
d. Also anyone under the age of 18 is to be excluded as per requirements of the Vaccines.
Overall, the Joint Chambers see this as an opportunity to be proactive and are prepared to support the Royal Government in preparation of rollout of the vaccine to foreigners.
We will provide immediate updates if the Royal Government accepts our list and advise of the process to obtain a vaccine.
We hope you will support and protect yourself and those other people in Cambodia.
Please submit your data by 12 Noon Monday 29th March 2021 for the 1st Phase. If you miss this date, your name will be submitted in the 2nd phase.
Important Note: We are collecting the following information for the purpose of submitting data to the Ministry of Health for hopeful processing of Foreigner for a COVID Vaccine. By including your name in the list you agree to disclose your personal information among the different chambers of commerce in Cambodia and other business associations and to the Ministry of Health. Data maybe processed and transferred to those who support the operations and registration for the COVID vaccination.
