Child vaccine available from today The child (paediatric) Pfizer vaccine is now available for 5–11 year-olds at centres throughout New Zealand, including walk-ins, drive-throughs, hauora providers, community pharmacies, and general practices.

More than 120,000 doses of the child vaccine have been delivered to around 500 vaccination sites around New Zealand, and these health care providers are well prepared for the start of the vaccine rollout to tamariki.

With reports of strong demand for child vaccinations today, particularly in Auckland, we want to thank those who have been waiting at vaccination centres or holding for the 0800 number, for their patience. “It’s encouraging to see this strong start to the rollout and extra resources are being deployed to the busiest sites to reduce queues as much as possible,” says Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.

Parents are advised to check BookMyVaccine.nz or call the Covid-19 Vaccination Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 to find a walk-in or drive-through near them or to make an appointment.
