We announce the complete genome sequence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain PH1273. This strain was collected from a Penaeus vannamei pond in the Philippines in 2015. Genome analysis revealed that it lacks the gene pirAB responsible for causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease but encode multiple secretion systems and the associated effectors.
