But securing the return of our retail outlets is possible because of the hard work of local people in our communities that have been doing the hard mahi: getting on, getting our vaccination rates up beyond 90 percent first dose on the North Shore. They are our COVID heroes, and I want to put on record my very heartfelt thanks to them. I especially want to acknowledge the staff at the Birkenhead Vaccination Centre that has served Auckland's North Shore. They've regularly been the second-busiest across the whole of Auckland; it is a tremendous effort and I congratulate them.
