After 52 consecutive days of no new case, Cambodia announce to have found new Covid-19 case on the 53rd day. The government is pushing people to take additional dose of vaccine as the people hesitate to take additional dose of vaccine after government announced Covid-19 is clear from Cambodia. I myself have taken four doses, I am thinking if I should take the 5th one. Sad!

After the third and forth dose, new vaccination only provides a very short term benefit. If you have only vaccinated for a few months or antibodies is still strong, why not wait for a newer vaccines that would be more effective against new variants.

Below is my vaccination history:

So far as I know, our government still have a lot of stock of vaccine in the warehouse that they wanna get rid of (something like 9 million doses). That's why they are pushing people to get vaccination. The protection of Pfizer against Omicron is just 30+%, however, new vaccine, even after approved, will take a long time before they can be available for us.

Maybe I should protect myself with mask, washing hand... and wait a bit longer for the new vaccine to be available and most important; to be proved safe.

I am no medical doctor. Can't say what is the best for you. My parents vaccinated with the third dose after their antibodies count dropped to half of the recommended amount. They didn't vaccinate the forth dose yet as their last blood test results still show that they have very high antibodies count. Antibodies drops more rapidly after 6 months so some doctors would recommend a 6 months boost.

The incubation period for Omicron is between 2-4 days. 99% of cases detectable within 1-6 days.
