To date, 98% of the target population in Fiji have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 66% are now fully vaccinated.

This means 587,948 adults have received their first dose and 387,320 have received their second doses.

The Ministry of Health is requesting people to apply for temporary exemptions if they are currently ill or have valid reasons for delaying their vaccination.

You can apply for the temporary exemptions on covidexemptionreq@gmail.com.

Meanwhile, vaccination for 15 to 17-year-old children begins today.

The Ministry has released the dates, clusters and venues for the vaccination of children from 15 to 17 years of age across Fiji.

You can check out the list on our website, fijivillage.

Children will need to receive two doses of the Moderna vaccine which is administered at a dose interval of 28 days.

Parents and guardians are being asked to sign a consent form for children receiving this vaccine.

You can register your child for vaccination through the Vaccine Registry before vaccination.

Online registration is available on vra.digitalfiji.gov.fj
