Prime Minister New Zealand Jacinda Ardern on a plane doing papers and thinking about the first people in New Zealand who will be vaccinated this week. What a milestone! And yet, even while we have reached the point where we will start rolling out vaccines to our frontline workers, we need to keep up all the same important things we’ve been doing all year. According to international media, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, it would take roughly two to three weeks for all 12,000 frontline workers to receive the jab. On February 20, vaccination to the border and MIQ workers in Auckland will be offered the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern added, “Health care and essential workers and those most at risk from Covid-19 will follow in quarter two, before vaccination of the wider population in the second half of the year, and for the full vaccination programme to be rolled out in its entirety.”
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, this the largest-ever vaccination campaign in New Zealand. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s message to people of New Zealand “masks on public transport and planes, washing our hands, scanning QR codes wherever we go and staying home if we’re sick. It’s been a hard week, but we have also made important progress as we steadily start our vaccine roll-out – we just need to keep going!”
