Next Phase Of COVID-19 Vaccinations From Tomorrow

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services is rolling out the next phase of vaccinations with approximately 50,000 people eligible to receive this two-dose vaccine from tomorrow.

This group includes the rest of the frontline staff at the borders, all healthcare workers (including those in private healthcare), Police and military officers, tourism and hotel workers, and civil servants.

Also eligible to receive the vaccine, will be those over the age of 60, and people with medical conditions that increase the risk of severe disease if they do get infected with COVID-19.

A list of locations where you can get vaccinated will be released at a later date. However, we urge all Fijians over the age of 18, and especially people eligible for this second phase, to register for the COVID-19 vaccine now. You must be registered to receive your vaccine.

To register please visit vra.digitalfiji.gov.fj or your nearest health centre with your birth registration or citizenship number and photo ID. The birth registration number (BRN) is printed on your birth certificate.
