Palau is settling into a new normal.
That country is seeing a return of tourists after it says it has achieved herd immunity against COVID-19 among its adult population.
Radio NZ reports health authorities in Palau say over 80% of the eligible population has been given both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine while the vaccination rollout for children is well underway.
Palau began its vaccination drive in January, aiming for 13,300 adults but exceeded that target with 14,300 adults now fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Vaccination of children aged 12-17 years old is now well under way with at least 65 percent having had at least one dose of the vaccine.
