The Health Ministry has released the dates, clusters and venues for the vaccination of children from 15 to 17 years of age across Fiji.

Through the Ministry of Education, the Moderna vaccine will be rolled out from today by school clusters within the four divisions.

Schools that are close by to each other will group to form a cluster, where students who are 15 to 17 years of age can get vaccinated.

Children will need to receive two doses of the Moderna vaccine which is administered at a dose interval of 28 days.

Parents and guardians will be asked to sign a consent form for children receiving this vaccine.

You can now register your child for vaccination through the Vaccine Registry.

Online registration is available on vra.digitalfiji.gov.fj

According to the Health Ministry, children from 15 to 17 years of age are being vaccinated first as they are mostly in secondary school and some of them are nearing the end of their secondary education.

Year 12 and Year 13 students also need to sit external exams to progress to higher education.
