Vaccinations Push Miloliʻi Fishing Village Toward Herd Immunity
Miloliʻi native Kaʻimi Kaupiko, 38, wasn’t entirely sure he needed the vaccine at first. He did after all contract the virus back in September when COVID-19 spread to a dozen residents in this isolated coastal community.
More than 100 Miloli i residents received a one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine at a recent mobile vaccination clinic in this remote fishing village.

“I just figured no need because I have the antibodies,” says Kaupiko. “But I just knew that I could get COVID again. So I know the chances of me taking the vaccination will be more likely, I wouldn t get COVID again.”

Hawaii Island, also known as The Big Island, is the youngest and largest isle in the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s also growing fresh lava from Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, continues to create new land and lava rock beaches. But this island has far more to offer than its world-famous volcano. Home to all but four of the world’s climate zones, the Big Island is vast and wild and features some of the most diverse terrain on Earth. Travel beyond the majestic shoreline and you’ll discover tropical jungles and the spectacular, sometimes snow-capped peak of Mauna Kea, which is taller than Mount Everest from seafloor to summit. From world-class coffee farms and picturesque ranchlands to Hawaiian archaeological sites and crystalline coral reefs, the Big Island is a diverse escape full of adventure.
