The Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they can consider having other venues in Suva to provide booster doses for COVID-19 however people should understand that health staff have been working for one whole year without much leave.
Currently, people can only go to the Albert Park drive-through venue to receive their booster doses in Suva.
Some people have raised concerns that while the Ministry of Health is encouraging people to get their booster shots, there is only one venue in Suva and they have to wait in a long queue for hours.
When questioned, Dr. Fong says it is an unsympathetic request to expect health staff to keep working hard without taking any leave and not even celebrate Christmas with their families.
