Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete says they’re working on keeping the number of measles cases as low as possible.

Ninety-five percent of workers at the Nausori and Nadi Airports have been vaccinated against measles.

Over 7,000 people have received medical assistance from the Sanjeevani Medical Centre in Muanikau, Suva since opening in April of last year.

The Sanjeevani Medical Centre has screened over 200 patients for cardiovascular, mental and other health problems in Verata, Tailevu.

The Health Ministry is advising the public to refrain from mass gatherings.

The Health Ministry has today clarified that the amount of measles vaccine is limited.

Health centres not in high-risk areas will provide measles vaccination only from 8am to 4:30 pm.

Ninety thousand Fijians have been vaccinated for measles in the last week.

There are now seven confirmed cases of measles from Serua/Namosi Subdivision.

Fijians should be able to get their measles vaccination from health centres for free.

The Health Ministry has enough measles vaccines in stock for those high-risk areas.

Sending senior nurses and nurse practitioners to outer islands is not a reward for their service.
