The COVID-19 vaccination campaign began in Fiji on the first quarter of 2021 and will continue throughout the year with the goal of vaccinating all eligible Fijians.[2] The government has made it mandatory for all eligible adults to take the COVID-19 vaccines.[3]

Fiji received its vaccines through the COVAX facility and bilateral contributions by the United States, Australia, New Zealand, India and Japan. More than a million doses have been administered in Fiji.[4]
