The death toll of A/H1N1 in Cambo- dia has increased to 6 people of 531 recorded cases, according to an exper t from the Department of Fighting Pand- emics (DFP) said on Thursday.

The DFP´s Vice Director Ly Sovann told DAP News Cambodia that his staff are investigating the latest cases.

He added that about 300,000 doses of A/H1N1 vaccine will be delivered to Cambodia at the end of December.

“The delivered vaccines will be injected first to our staff and children under six months, then to others,” he said.

Cambodia has recorded A/H1N1 cases in 13 provinces, Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham, Battam Bang, Siem Reap, Kam- pong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, Takeo, Svay Rieng, Mondolkiri, Prey Veng, Banteay Meanchey, Kandal, and Kampot provinces.

Cambodia confirmed the first case of A/H1N1 on June 24, 2009, as one US student group spent thier study tour to Cambodia.

However, MoH leaders, directed by the Premier Hun Sen, are making effort to control and curb the increasing of this virus.
