Lawmakers last month passed legislation making vaccination against Covid-19 compulsory for anyone dealing with the public and individuals deemed to be vulnerable.
They have been given two months to be inoculated or risk a fine of $US1,700 and a suspension of their work contracts.
Legal challenges are being mounted in both French Polynesia and in France's highest court to quash the law adopted in Tahiti.
The new law will come into force on 23 October.
