Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says they will plan for a proper celebration for our Fiji 7s teams when at least 80 percent of Fijian adults are fully vaccinated.

He made the comment while announcing a million-dollar reward package for our Fiji 7s teams.

He adds there are enough vaccines for every eligible Fijian and people should continue with their life-saving work of protecting Fijians through vaccination.

The Fiji Men’s 7s team players and team management will receive $33,000 each for getting gold while the Fijiana 7s team players and team management will receive $11,000 each for getting bronze.

Also included in this package is a house for Jerry Tuwai who is the first and only rugby player to have won two Olympic gold medals.
