There were 21,013 total vaccine doses administered yesterday, including 2,859 first doses and 9,250 second doses. To date, 94% of eligible people in New Zealand have had their first dose and 89% are fully vaccinated.
While we have seen a drop in case numbers today, we continue to ask everyone in New Zealand to remain vigilant. Anyone with any symptoms that could be COVID-19 is asked to get a test, even if they are vaccinated.
Be sure to wear a mask or face covering when you’re out and about and keep track of where you have been using the NZ COVID Tracer App, or a manual diary.
Getting vaccinated is the best way for New Zealanders to protect themselves, their loved ones, whānau and communities from COVID-19.
