India will provide Fiji with AstraZeneca vaccines

Good news as India will be providing a considerable number of the AstraZeneca vaccines to Fiji.

This has been announced by the Acting Indian High Commissioner to Fiji, Sukanta Sahoo.

Sahoo says this will be facilitated through the COVAX facility.

COVAX is a partnership between the World Health Organization and two international groups – the Gavi vaccine alliance and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations which aims to send vaccines to developing countries.

He adds that more details will be announced soon.
