Today, we are reporting 56,788 boosters administered yesterday, the highest number in one day so far, bringing the total to 1,053,055.
Similarly, yesterday was a record for paediatric doses administered of 14,400. Almost 95,000 5-to-11-year-olds have now received a first dose.
The number of first and second doses in the 12+ population also saw notable increases on previous days. It is encouraging people continue to come forward to get their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
We encourage anyone who is unsure about getting vaccinated to kōrero with people they trust, including their usual healthcare provider.
