Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Today I also announced that quarter of a million Novavax vaccinations have arrived in the country and people can book these over the phone or online from tomorrow. While Pfizer remains the preferred COVID-19 vaccine for New Zealand, Novavax is now available for those people who would prefer or require an alternative. It's available to people 18 and over only. It requires two doses, with a three-week gap between them. It has not yet been approved as a booster dose. People will be able to choose appointments at a limited number of sites. It won't be available at every vaccination site around the country. Details are available on the Ministry of Health website.
