Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): Yesterday, we confirmed the whole country will shift to the COVID-19 Protection Framework shortly after Cabinet's final decision on 29 November, as part of our new strategy to minimise and protect against COVID-19. The Government's worked extremely hard to get as many people vaccinated as possible, and South Islanders have responded strongly. As a result, they're well placed to enjoy the additional protections and freedoms offered by the traffic light system. Canterbury and Southern DHBs have both passed the 90 percent first dose threshold at 94 and 92 percent respectively, and they've reached 83 and 84 percent fully vaccinated. South Canterbury needs just another 417 people, as of midnight last night, to get to 90 percent first doses, while Nelson Marlborough needs 935 more doses to reach that marker. Both of those DHBs are sitting at around 81 percent of people fully vaccinated. So this is good progress, and I encourage all South Islanders to keep up the good work, and for those who are fully vaccinated to request their My Vaccine Pass.
