The Ministry of Health is now administering the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Labasa.

The target group in this phase of the vaccination rollout are front-liners, who have turned up in numbers to get their second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Divisional Commissioner Northern, Uraia Rainima received his second jab along with his team members.
