Fiji's government is beginning to focus on its public vaccination campaign. Over the weekend,12,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine touched down, making Fiji the first Pacific island country to get vaccines through the Covax scheme. Since the AstraZeneca vaccine requires two doses, the government says 6,000 front-line workers will be the first to get the jabs. But as Christine Rovoi reports, now that the vaccines are rolling in, the real work begins for the government to convince the public to join its vaccination campaign.
