The Health Ministry says the dates, clusters and venues for schools will be announced this weekend.
Children from 15 to 17 years of age across Fiji can be vaccinated with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine from Monday.
According to the Health Ministry, children from 15 to 17 years of age are being vaccinated first as they are mostly in secondary school and some of them are nearing the end of their secondary education.
Year 12 and Year 13 students also need to sit external exams to progress to higher education.
Through the Ministry of Education, the Moderna vaccine will be rolled out by school clusters within the four divisions.
Schools that are close by to each other will group to form a cluster, where students who are 15 to 17 years of age can get vaccinated.
Children will need to receive two doses of the Moderna vaccine which is administered at a dose interval of 28 days.
Parents and guardians will be asked to sign a consent form for children receiving this vaccine.
They will also be able to register their child online before he or she receives the first dose of the Moderna vaccine.
