Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): New Zealand is successfully rolling out at pace the largest immunisation programme the country has ever seen. Nationwide, three-quarters of the eligible population aged 12-plus have now received their first dose and 40 percent have received their second dose, meaning that they are fully vaccinated. Fifty-three percent of Māori have had their first dose, with 26 percent getting their second. For Pasifika, the vaccination rates are 68 percent for the first dose and 36 percent for the second. In terms of our over-65 population, 91 percent have received at least their first dose and 80 percent their second. For those aged between 40 and 64, 80 percent have had their first dose and 44 percent their second.
