The Big Boost Week is now in full swing with 56,257 booster doses administered across New Zealand yesterday, bringing the total so far to more than 1.7 million.
With Omicron in New Zealand, the best thing you can do is get your booster as soon as it is due. Boosters lower your chances of getting very sick and being hospitalised.
It also helps slow the spread of the virus. That’s why it’s important to get your booster three months after your second dose - so if you’re over 18 and your booster is due, please get it now.
As case numbers increase, we are putting in place changes to the way case numbers and other details are reported in our daily updates.
