Another 70,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines arrives from Australia

The Australian Government continues to provide support to Fiji as another 70,000 doses of COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccines have arrived in the country.

This brings the total number of Australian vaccine doses flown into the country over the past eight weeks to 320,000.

The support is part of Australia’s commitment to providing one million vaccines to Fiji.

Meanwhile, 46% of adults in Fiji have received one dose, and 6.5% have received their second dose.

This means that 272,354 people have received the first doses since the beginning of the vaccination campaign and 38,031 are now fully vaccinated.

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