PHNOM PENH, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Health Ministry on Friday said that it will receive the vaccination for A/H1N1 flu from the World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of this year.

"We will receive the vaccination from the WHO late this year after we have appealed for help from other countries and partners," said Ly Sovan, deputy director for the communicable control department of Health Ministry.

"So far, we have not known clear information about the amount of the vaccination that we will get from the WHO," he said, adding that "when we have it, we will consider with our experts about injecting vaccination for people."

Ly Sovan said that up to now, Cambodia has 313 cases of the flu and four people were killed by the virus, including a pregnant woman.
