Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and his wife, Mary have received their first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine today.

Bainimarama says these vaccines are more than a shot in the arm, they are an injection of hope.

He says being vaccinated is their duty to keep our loved ones safe and set Fiji on a path to recovery.

The Prime Minister says these vaccines are safe, effective and backed by the miracle of modern medicine.

Bainimarama says it is natural to have questions about your health, which is why the Health Ministry has set up a dedicated hotline 158 to take questions.

The Prime Minister says this is why he and Mary did not have to think twice.
