The COVID-19 vaccination teams are pushing hard to vaccinate as many people as possible, and they have moved the closure time to 5.30pm for the drive-through vaccination at Albert Park in Suva.

While speaking on the fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan, Head of the Vaccination Taskforce, Doctor Rachel Devi says 56% of the target population have received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the country.

The Central Division’s vaccination rate is 57%, and with increasing cases, severe cases and deaths, the vaccination teams are working hard to get more people vaccinated as there is a long way to go for the division.
