Vaccination for 15 to 17-year-old children will resume on Monday and the Health Ministry will post the list of vaccination sites tomorrow.

As of 24th September, 17,996 children in Fiji have received their first dose of the Moderna vaccine.

The Health Ministry says they will be tracking vaccine coverage rates once they have firmed up the 15 to 17-year-old denominator.

To date, 592,628 adults in Fiji have received their first dose of the vaccine and 454,474 have received their second doses.

This means 95.9% adults have received at least one dose and 73.5% are now fully vaccinated.

They say since dose one is beyond 95%, a verification exercise for dose one is ongoing which may result in minor changes.
