People living in Lautoka can now get vaccinated from the comfort of their vehicles following the set up of a drive-through vaccination centre at the South Seas Club restaurant.
The drive-through centre will run for two weeks beginning today and will be open from 9am to 4pm from Monday to Friday.
This has been made possible by the Lautoka City Council in collaboration with Ministry of Health, South Seas Club, Fiji Police Force, Commissioner Western’s Office, Provincial Administrator Ba and the Divisional Health Inspector West.
401,404 adults in Fiji have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 80,894 have received their second doses.
This means that 68.4% of the target population have received at least one dose and 13.8% are now fully vaccinated nationwide.
The Ministry of Health will also begin administering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to pregnant women across Viti Levu from today.
To get vaccinated, pregnant women must provide their antenatal care clinic card as evidence of pregnancy and booking done with the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry says pregnant women living outside Viti Levu must continue to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The Moderna vaccine will also be administered to individuals above 60 years of age in the Suva-Nausori containment zone from today.
