Fijiana 7s players and officials received their first jabs of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine at the Vodafone Arena this morning.

Halfback, Rejieli Uluinayau says getting vaccinated is a safer option as they will be travelling to Australia for the training camps before the Olympics.



She says we are fortunate that Fiji is COVID-19 contained and getting vaccinated will also reduce the risk of community transmission in future.

Team Manager, Vela Naucukidi says the players are fit but they need to work on lifting their standard to another level.

23 players and 5 officials including the coach and managers were vaccinated today.
