Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong says 287, 148 people in Fiji have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 45,139 have received their second doses.

This equates to 49 percent of the target population having had at least one dose and 7.69 percent being fully vaccinated nationwide.

Doctor Fong says a total of 8,194 first doses and 1,794 second doses of the vaccine were administered nationally in the last 24 hours.

The Health Ministry has also launched a vaccine dashboard that provides real-time data on first dose and second dose numbers at the national, divisional and sub-divisional levels.

The dashboard offers eight different map overlays that show the number of first and second doses given, as well as the percentage of the target population that have received each dose.

You can check out the vaccine dashboard link on our website, fijivillage.
