Senior citizens must get vaccinated for COVID-19 because we are as vulnerable as the next person.
These were the remarks of 88-year-old Seeto Hui, who registered herself for the AstraZeneca vaccine last week.
“We (senior citizens) set the tone from the top – our Prime Minister registered and got vaccinated recently,” she said.
“I will be 89 years old later this year and I have told my friends and relatives that I have registered and they should as well.”
The mother of eight, who arrived from China in 1950, said getting vaccinated ensured that citizens of Fiji would be safe from the pandemic.
“We should take heed of the advice of the Ministry of Health and know that the information disseminated is in the best interests of Fiji.”
Having registered herself with medical officials, Mrs Hui said she would now await the call to receive the first of two injections.
