Nauru exceeds adult population target for COVID-19 first shot campaign

A Government statement said based on Nauru's Bureau of Statistics population estimates* of 6,812 adults living in Nauru at the end of 2020, Nauru has vaccinated 108 per cent of the adult population aged 18 years and over.

With a comparatively young population, this represents 63 per cent of the estimated total population on Nauru having received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The National Coronavirus Taskforce is extremely pleased with this world record result and thanks everyone on Nauru for playing their part to keep Nauru COVID free and safe.
