Another 60,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Nadi from Australia last night onboard a Fiji Airways plane.
This latest shipment of the vaccine brings the total number donated by Australia to 450,000 doses.
Australia has pledged to donate 1 million doses of the vaccine to Fiji.
391,363 adults in Fiji have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 77,610 have received their second doses.
This means that 66.7% of the target population have received at least one dose and 13.2% are now fully vaccinated nationwide.
