59.6% of Fiji’’s target population are now fully vaccinated.
It was earlier announced by the government that the curfew would move from 9pm to 4am and the containment areas in Viti Levu would be lifted when 60% of Fiji’s target population is fully vaccinated.
Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says as of 13th September, 573,247 adults in Fiji have received their first dose of the vaccine and 350,007 have received their second doses.
This means that 97.3% of the target population have received at least one dose and 59.6% are now fully vaccinated nationwide.
Doctor Fong says as the second dose coverage increases, it is expected that internal borders within Viti Levu will be lifted soon.
He stresses that unfortunately, villages and settlements in our rural areas continue to record low vaccination coverage.
Doctor Fong adds as such the public needs to remain cautious about how they engage in the greater freedom of movement that they will be enjoying.
He says whilst they understand that increased public movement is needed to facilitate livelihood and to get more families together they will be outlining further measures to reduce the risk that travelers will place on these villages and communities.
