Head of the Vaccination Taskforce, Doctor Rachel Devi

272,354 people have received the first doses of AstraZeneca since the beginning of the vaccination campaign in Fiji and 38,031 are now fully vaccinated.

This means that 46% of the adults in Fiji have received one dose, and 6.5% have received the second dose.

The target is to get 587,641 Fijians fully vaccinated which will ensure that our country moves forward.

While speaking on the fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan, Head of the Vaccination Taskforce, Doctor Rachel Devi says people should not believe the videos with fake information that claim that COVID-19 is not real.

With some people saying that this is all a lie an they do not want to get vaccinated, Doctor Devi says the proof is all around us on what COVID is doing to us and other countries in the world.

Doctor Devi says the reality can be seen on the ground in Fiji.
