You can now get your second booster dose.

The Health Ministry says Fijians aged 18 years and above and who have taken their first booster dose, can receive their second booster after an interval of 4 months.

Currently, more than 120,000 eligible Fijians have received their first COVID-19 booster.

The Health Ministry is urging all eligible Fijians to get boosted because the virus and its new variants continue to be of concern and can cause a rise in the number of hospitalisations and deaths if the immunity from the vaccines in people lessens over time.
