The reality is that our health system is in real danger of becoming overwhelmed if we aren’t all vaccinated.

The following information has been provided by the Ministry of Health on 19 August 2021 – see its website for the most recent updates about the vaccination rollout.

From Friday 23 July, people in Group 3 can call the COVID Vaccination Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 to book their vaccination if they don’t already have an appointment.

New Zealand is now vaccinating around 100,000 people a week.
