The Pacific Community is optimistic about timelines for the completion of the region's Covid-19 vaccination rollout.
This is despite the UK-based Economist Intelligence Unit's forecast that some Pacific island countries may not be able to vaccinate the majority of their populations until at least 2025.
The forecast defines a majority as more than 60 percent of people and mentions countries like Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands.
But the director of health at the Pacific Community organisation Paula Vivili says the wait may only be a few months than years as projected.
