More than 1.2 million boosters now given; 105 community cases; 4 people in hospital
The West Coast has become the 17th DHB to fully vaccinate more than 90% of its residents with two doses. Yesterday 13,112 paediatric doses were administered, bringing the total to 137,301.
A further 23,000 doses are booked in and 29% of 5 to 11 year olds have now received their first dose. Yesterday 46,827 booster doses were administered, bring the total to 1,210,768 – of those due for a booster, 65% of people have now received one.
Testing We are continuing to ask anyone in New Zealand with COVID-19 symptoms – no matter how mild – to get tested, even if they are vaccinated and to stay at home until they return a negative test result.
We need to focus testing on those who are symptomatic and contacts of cases to ensure our testing centres don’t quickly become overwhelmed and so we can continue to support the public health response.
