Yesterday, on the first day they became available, 14,367 child (paediatric) vaccine first doses were administered to 5 to 11-year-olds throughout New Zealand.

More than 500 sites around New Zealand can administer the vaccine to this age group, with more coming online soon. We want to thank children, and the caregivers who supported them, who got their first dose yesterday.

We encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated. New Zealand’s vaccine rollout remains our key defence against all variants of COVID-19, including Omicron.

With 93% of the eligible population now double-dosed and the booster programme underway, New Zealanders are well protected. Because at this early stage of the rollout the number of children being vaccinated in some of our smaller communities is relatively small, we are not initially providing breakdowns of the data by geographical region or ethnicity in order to ensure their privacy.
