The Western Division's first vaccination drive-through kick started this morning at the Nadi International Airport, and people have come out in numbers to get vaccinated.

Fijians living in Nadi or travelling along the area who have not been vaccinated are encouraged to drive through Nadi Airport in order to get their first or second jab of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The drive-through will be open from 9am to 4pm from today until this Friday.

The initiative has been hailed by many including 22-year-old Akanisi Tabua who received her first jab today.

Tabua says it is fast and no one has to get out of their vehicle in order to get their jabs so it's very convenient for them.

She says for those that have not received their jabs, she urges you to do so to protect your loved ones and to move forward.
