Vaccinatio­n drive through for Nadi residents starts today. Ministry of Health and Medical Services Head of Fiji’s COVID-19 Vaccinatio­n Task Force Doctor Rachel Devi said they were starting with Nadi today at the Nadi Internatio­nal Airport.

She said details on what time this would begin would be confirmed later.

Dr Devi said a similar programme would be held in Lautoka too but a vaccinatio­n drive through location was yet to be confirmed.

She said Ba has been doing exceptiona­lly well after achieving 100 percent of first dose vaccinatio­ns as of yesterday and 7.1 percent for second doses however existing drive through vaccinatio­ns would continue to be operationa­l.

Suva vaccinatio­n drive through continues at Albert Park and Dr Devi said: “Our vaccinatio­n drives will remain for some time, I think it will be a weekly thing, between five to seven hundred a day for dose 1 and dose 2,” she said.

She said in terms of a drive through vaccinatio­n in the Northern Division, a process would need to be followed

“Well for vaccinatio­ns, there’s technical issues around it, and the need is quite a lot in the Central Vitilevu area. I think the North is doing pretty well.

Our vaccinatio­n drives will remain for some time, I think it will be a weekly thing, between five to seven hundred a day for dose 1 and dose 2.
