Pacific health provider notices Covid-19 fatigue within community

He said he had seen fatigue set in which could explain the low uptake of the booster shot in the Pacific community.

"People are just Covid fatigued where everything is all about self-isolation, traffic lights and the lockdowns.

I think it is just fatigue, people are just tired so I don't know if it is complacency but it's been ongoing and two years is a long time to go through changes."

Sefo said the South Seas Healthcare team were preparing now for Omicron to hit communities just like they had done in the past two years of Covid-19.
