The final MP to get a second dose was National's West Coast-based MP Maureen Pugh, who confirmed she had her second dose last week.

Te Pāti Māori was the first party to be fully vaccinated, with co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi getting their first doses in May. Labour's 65 MPs and the 10 Green MPs had all been fully vaccinated after the Super Saturday event on October 16.
