The ongoing COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccination roll-out program throughout Tongatapu up to 8 May will now close at 4:00pm instead of 6:00pm daily, confirmed the Ministry of Health this afternoon.

Since COVID-19 vaccinations in the districts started on Monday, 19 April, the Ministry of Health said the vaccination teams noted that most of the public arrived in the morning for their vaccinations.

Closing earlier will allow vaccination teams to have more time to wrap up from site, including cleaning up, conduct their debrief, and prepare for the next day.

The vaccination teams start their work at 6:00am.

Tomorrow, vaccinations will be held at Ma'ufanga, Hala Hekoni, Pili, and Hala Bypass and on Saturday at Patangata, Popua, Fangaloto, Houmakelikau, and Touliki.
