Fiji to begin Covid-19 vaccination roll out

From , 6:01 am on 9 March 2021

Fiji's government is beginning to focus on its public vaccination campaign, now that it's become the first Pacific island country to get Covid vaccines through the Covax scheme.

Over the weekend, 12 thousand doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine reached Fiji.

Since the vaccine requires two doses, the government says six thousand front-line workers will be the first to get the jabs.

But as Christine Rovoi reports, now that the vaccines are rolling in, the real work begins for the government to convince the public to join its vaccination campaign.
