WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday that she would get her first COVID-19 shot at the end of next week, as the country prepared to receive another 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Pfizer has scheduled delivery of an estimated 1 million doses of vaccine to New Zealand in July, Ardern said. About 20,000 doses a day are being administered, and the Pfizer deliveries will enable that pace to increase significantly, Ardern said. At the peak of the programme in August and September, 50,000 doses will be administered each day, she said. New Zealand has had 2,336 confirmed cases and 26 deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic so far.
