COVID-19 Vaccine – Booster Doses

07th January 2022

Public Advisory: COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Doses

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services has rolled out the COVID-19 booster dose for a specific target population in Fiji.

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for use as the booster dose by stringent regulatory authorities with over 30 countries (US, UK, Israel, Singapore, and France) administering the dose.

A booster dose will ensure protection against COVID-19 is even stronger and longer-lasting and help prevent the spread of the virus.

All individuals aged 18 years and above are eligible to receive the COVID-19 booster dose. An individual can receive the COVID-19 booster dose if he/she has received their initial two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines at least 5 months ago.

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services further encourages all individuals aged 18 years and above who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and kidney disease to get the booster dose.

Individuals who are not able to go to a vaccination site for the booster dose can contact the toll-free line 158 to register for home vaccination.
