Can I get chlamydia from receiving vaginal oral sex from someone who has oral chlamydia?

I hear lots of stories of men getting chlamydia from receiving a blowjob from someone carrying oral chlamydia, but what about women receiving vaginal oral. Is the risk lower?

just found this article when I googled the topic

Chlamydia is less likely to be transmitted during oral sex because the bacteria that cause chlamydia prefer to target the genital area rather than the throat. This is why it is unlikely for chlamydia to be transmitted from mouth-to-penis and penis-to-mouth contact, although it is still possible. It is even less likely for transmission to take place from vagina-to-mouth or anus-to-mouth contact. Transmission is not known to occur from mouth-to-vagina and mouth to anus contact.

Agreed . The oral cavity is not a favoured environment for Chlamydia
