Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong.

Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says he does not know how many people who are COVID-19 positive have got their first jab of the vaccine.

Dr Fong says their main issue is to contain the spread of COVID-19.

He says no one in Fiji has been fully vaccinated yet because they have not been given the second dose.

Dr Fong says there is no point in asking them whether people have been vaccinated or not as no one has been fully vaccinated.
