Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): I am very happy to say that the Government has guaranteed that every New Zealander will have access the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine after securing an additional 8.5 million doses, on top of the 1.5 million doses that we had already purchased. This brings our total order to 10 million doses, enough for every New Zealander to get the two shots they need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. It's a significant addition to our COVID-19 vaccine portfolio, and it is a sign of our confidence in the vaccine and its effectiveness. It also reinforces our top priority of making sure that all New Zealanders get free, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.
