Today Capital and Coast will become the first DHB area to reach the 90% fully vaccinated milestone for Māori. When the region’s clinics closed for the day yesterday, they were only 32 second doses short and they’re expected to reach this significant milestone at some point today.

Not far behind in reaching 90% fully vaccinated for their eligible Māori populations are Canterbury and Auckland DHBs, who may get there next week.

Forty two percent of the population currently eligible have now received their booster shot. We are strongly recommending boosters for anyone over the age of 18 who had their second vaccine dose at least four months ago.

Vaccination remains our key defence against all variants of COVID-19 including Omicron. Today we are reporting 13 people at the border with COVID-19.
