For reference from another media source (July 14th 2021) and please note "free of charge" and mention of registration-

 

All foreigners living in Siem Reap province are due to get vaccination against Covid-19 free of charge at Siem Reap Referral Hospital starting from July 20th at 8pm. However, the provincial authorities said that foreigners, who have already submitted their request for Covid-19 vaccination, could get vaccinated without any problem. But, those who have not yet submitted it need to do so at the Siem Reap city administration.

As a foreign resident in Siem Reap, my landlord kindly made further enquiries. 2 vaccines will be available, Sinovac for the under 60's and Sinopharm for the over 60's. I was hoping for AstraZeneca and willing to pay for it, but it's availability is currently "in limbo" although Japan will donate 1 million doses in due course. My landlord is aware that I am an elderly insulin dependent diabetic and a British subject who will not have either of the two Chinese vaccines following UK Government guide lines (both vaccines not approved, as in the EU and USA). For the moment I do not need to register for a vaccination and must wait until information on an alternative vaccine is announced. My landlord will keep me informed.
