He said that a village meeting would be held today to encourage the unvaccinated to step up and get jabbed.
“Now with restrictions to the number of people at a social gathering such as weddings, birthdays, funerals have been uplifted as announced by the Prime Minister, we would like everyone to get vaccinated so we feel safe and protected from the virus while socialising with others,” Mr Vidaune said.
“We are yet to begin with church services until everyone gets fully vaccinated.
“We will continue with COVID-19 safety measures and ensure that everyone gets fully vaccinated,” he said.
