Coronavirus Australia: Australian vaccine donations to Pacific nations top 1 million

Advertisement The nation’s donations of COVID-19 vaccines to the Pacific this week topped the 1 million-mark, aided in part by some Australians’ reluctance to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca. More than half a million doses have been delivered to Fiji, which is racing to inoculate its population amid a serious outbreak of the fast-spreading Delta strain. About 278,000 doses have been given to Timor-Leste, 63,000 to the Solomon Islands, 50,000 to Samoa, 20,000 to Vanuatu, 28,000 to Papua New Guinea, 9000 to Tonga and 7000 to Tuvalu.
