Jul 03, 2021 03:48:44 PM The University of the South Pacific is urging its staff and students to get vaccinated amidst high records of COVID-19 positive cases in Fiji. Acting Vice-Chancellor and President, Dr Giulio Masasso Tu’ikolongahau Pāunga said steps taken by students and staff to get vaccinated can help the University provide a safe campus environment. Fiji s Ministry of Health is currently administering the COVID-19 vaccine Oxford-AstraZeneca to people over 18 years of age for free and USP students and staff are encouraged to register and to visit their nearest vaccination sites to get vaccinated. “For USP Fiji campuses to return to face-to-face experiences and a sense of normalcy depends on the community’s ability and willingness to be vaccinated,” he said.
