People living the remote areas of Vanuatu are expected to receive the single-shot Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Director of Public Heath, Len Tarivonda said a request has been made for the U.S. Government to provide Vanuatu with 100,000 doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
Tarivonda said the single-shot vaccine is cheap for areas that are hard to reach while the two-dose vaccines are logistically easy in an urban setting.
Vaccination is currently being rolled out in SHEFA and SANMA provinces.
So far, around 66,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered on Efate and Santo.
Over 19,000 people have been fully vaccinated and over 46,000 have received one dose of AstraZeneca or Sinopharm.
