The Ministry of Health’s priority now is to vaccinate the high-risk population.
According to a statement by the Ministry on its official Facebook page, high-risk population includes the frontline workers, persons with disability, people over 60 years of age and people with comorbidity issues.
The Ministry says these people are easily susceptible to the disease.
“The Ministry of Health reassures all vaccine eligible individuals that they will be vaccinated in due course of time.
“Fiji will continue to receive COVID-19 vaccines in batches similar to the other countries.”
For those who have been vaccinated, expect mild side effects similar to any other vaccine.
In a very rare circumstance, should a person experience any unusual side effects, they can visit the nearest health centre or hospital.
The health staff are trained to treat the side effects.
