How to get vaccine in Cambodia and Vaccination Rate in Cambodia
Vaccination is one of the most important health initiatives that mitigate the risks of diseases and other health concerns. Cambodia has faced myriads of health issues, most of which are immunizable (Young, et al., 2016). Vaccination in Cambodia can be done in public or private health facilities. The health facilities may run a public initiative for vaccination against common immunizable diseases such as hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and rabies (Matsuoka et al., 2014). Cambodia disbursed a total of $ 1,828700 to the immunization support in the last one and half decade, which has strengthened the delivery of vaccination services to the public (Wadhera, et al., 2015). According to Larson, (2016) the coverage of immunization in Cambodia has significantly over the last two years, especially after the introduction of the National Immunization Program immunization schedule of 2016. The world health organization reported that the coverage for the Hepatitis B administered at birth increased by about 14% from 2013 to 2014. In addition, the vaccination of children less than 2 years for diphtheria, tetanus, and Hepatitis B increased to 97% in 2014, a trend that has remained steady over the years (Scobie, et al., 2016).

The government has made the initiative to immunize the children at the hospital at the time of birth, making it easy to keep the records about the trends of the vaccination (Matsuoka, et al., 2014). In addition, the public health system and policies have enabled the public to access public health. The National Immunization Program was founded to steer ahead the vaccination of Hepatitis B, one of the major health concerns in the country. Since 2016, the program has managed to organize and successfully run 4 vaccination programs across Cambodia, with the primary focus on the children under 2 years, who are the most vulnerable in society (Mao, B et al., 2015)

In conclusion, getting immunization in Cambodia can be done in either the public hospital or private hospitals. The government has put in place the necessary steps to ensure that the children born are vaccinated against the communicable diseases to mitigate the health risks in future. The rate of vaccination has also improved significantly due to the concerted effort by the stakeholders in the health sector (Karamanidou, & Dimopoulos, 2016)

Role of nurses in HPV
Nurses play a critical role in promoting the process of vaccination in Cambodia. It is of the essence to note that nurses offer the primary care to the patients and also act as the bridge between the public and healthcare institutions (Larson, 2016). In this regard, the nurses offer the required health information regarding vaccination such as civic education on the importance of vaccination (Wamai et al., 2013). As such, the nurses offer the greatest influence to the public about the need to take vaccination, the implications of the vaccination and the role of the public in health initiative (Lockwood-Rayermann, & McIntyre, 2009). The nurses create awareness among the public about vaccination (Masters 2015).

According to Rosen, and Goodson, (2014), the girls in the country had been denied the opportunity for the HPV in the past due to lack of the relevant information about the HPV (Whelan,et al., 2014). In addition, the cultural practices and ignorance among the population were some of the major barriers to the HPV in Cambodia (Ferrer, Trotter, Hickman, & Audrey, 2014). Besides creating awareness, the nurses act as the agents of change to healthcare and the general attitude among the public (Walling, et al., 2016)

The percentage that took their girls for vaccination stood at 29%, a percentage that shoot up significantly after the nurses took up the role to create awareness among the parents and the girls in equal measures (Cherry, & Jacob, 2016; Kijewski, 2016). The nurses also offer the services during the vaccination process (Rosen, & Goodson, 2014). Here, the nurses take part in the vaccination process by offering the primary vaccination services to the girls (Rosen, Ashwood, & Richardson, 2016).

In conclusion, the nurses have brought significant changes to the healthcare sector, giving the right directions and information with regards to the relevant vaccination requirements (Lockwood-Rayermann, & McIntyre, 2009).
