The Ministry of Health will launch the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccination rollout in Pentecost on 28 January 2022.
The programme will then be extended to other remote areas of Vanuatu.
The vaccine has received a World Health Organisation recommendation and is administered as a single dose to individuals 18 years old and above.
Those who have received one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are considered to be fully vaccinated.
The Government through the Ministry of Health is prioritizing Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines for people living in hard-to-reach places or remote areas to avoid the challenge of needing to follow up for a second dose.
The delivery plan for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is to boost vaccination coverage in line with the Government target towards opening of borders to international travelers.
The Government has a mandate to reach high vaccination coverage of the entire adult population nationwide by the end February in order to re-open borders in March, 2022.
