The Princess volunteered to take part along with her husband Lord Tuita and Prime Minister Dr Pohiva Tu i onetoa.
Acting CEO for Health Dr Reynold Ofanoa also received his first shot. This is a historical day for Tonga, a day we had prayed for, a day of hope, as we launch the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, Ofanoa said.

The resignation adds to the pressure faced by Prime Minister Pohiva Tu i onetoa, who is likely to face a motion of no confidence when parliament next sits.
Fa otusia is one of 10 people who signed a letter calling for a motion against the prime minister.
That letter, tabled last week, outlines seven allegations against Tu i onetoa, mostly around government spending.
If a vote is held when the 26 seat parliament next sits on 12 January, supporters of the move may only need the support of 13 MPs with at least one representative overseas and unable to vote.
One of the nine Noble MPs in the House said last week s motion was historic and unique.
