The love for their loved ones in their homes and communities brought the youths of Naduri Village in Sigatoka to the vaccination site at Kavanagasau College.
Torika Amuna and her colleagues crossed the Sigatoka River safely to reach the vaccination venue, where they received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Amuna says she got vaccinated to protect herself and her family in every way possible.
She looks forward to going back to school and celebrating holidays with her loved ones.
Amuna adds if her health is guarded against this serious virus, she can get back to doing things she loves because she knows that she is protected.
