Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says to reward people who have been vaccinated and encourage those who have not yet been vaccinated they are organizing a national vaccine lottery with some great prizes they will announce soon.

He stresses this is all about winning together and the ultimate prize is the lives that will be saved.

As of today, 92.6 percent of eligible adults in Fiji – 543,318 individuals in total have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 40 percent of that target population is fully vaccinated.

Bainimarama says this puts us on track to smash our goal of fully vaccinating 80 percent of adults in Fiji by the end of October and he could not be prouder of everyone who has come forward to receive both doses.

The Prime Minister adds you may know someone who has not been vaccinated.

He is urging you to reach out to them personally and encourage them to come forward.

Bainimarama says be the voice of reason and compassion that compels them to protect themselves and others.

He stresses you could save their life or the life of another because the more of us are vaccinated the more all of us are protected.
