Thursday 23 September, Honiara – The first fortnightly draw for the ‘Bisnis For Vaccine’ campaign was conducted on Friday 17th September with winners walking away with prizes certain members of the business community who are supporting this campaign.

‘Bisnis For Vaccine’ is a campaign launched by the Solomon Islands Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) in early September as part of the private sector’s support towards the country’s COVID-19 vaccination drive.

Due to the current low take up rate of COVID-19 vaccinations in the Solomon Islands, SICCI has decided to run this incentive with the support of businesses to focus the eligibility for the draw on those vaccinated from 1st September onward.
