Of the deaths, 252 of them have come from the April outbreak of the Delta variant of Covid-19.
Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta said New Zealand paid for 100,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine directly from the Spanish government to meet Fiji s immediate vaccine needs. The vaccines were due to arrive today. Our thoughts remain with Fiji during this incredibly challenging period, Mahuta said in a statement.
Earlier this year, the Government committed to providing up to 500,000 doses.
Mahuta said that commitment still stood. AstraZeneca is Fiji s vaccine of choice and these doses will further support the excellent work Fiji is doing in vaccinating its population.
