WHEN YOU CAN GET A VACCINE
The NZ vaccine rollout aims to protect Aotearoa aged 16 and over. Find out when you can get vaccinated below…
NEW ZEALAND’S COVID-19 VACCINE PLAN
Ministry of Health are rolling out free vaccine to protect everyone in Aotearoa. They’ve secured enough Pfizer vaccine for everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and over to get the two doses they need against COVID-19.
First, we’re protecting those most at risk of catching COVID-19 in their workplace. This will reduce the risk of future outbreaks and lockdowns. Next, we’ll vaccinate people most at risk of getting seriously sick or dying if they get the virus.
New Zealand’s vaccine plan is to:
-
put safety first with all COVID-19 vaccines
-
secure enough safe and effective vaccines to protect Aotearoa and the Pacific
-
protect Māori, Pacific peoples, and other groups at greater risk of COVID-19
-
make it easy for people to get vaccinated
-
ensure we are prepared for future outbreaks
-
support New Zealand’s contribution to global wellbeing.
WHERE VACCINATIONS WILL HAPPEN
Vaccines will be available in a range of locations. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to access COVID-19 vaccines.
Some groups will get their vaccine at or near their workplace or care facility, eg frontline healthcare workers, and people living and working in long-term residential care homes.
