New Zealand's largest shipment of Pfizer vaccines has arrived two days ahead of schedule, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins has announced. The shipment of 150,000 doses touched down late on Sunday afternoon. New Zealand had distributed nearly all of its supply of the Pfizer vaccine in storage, giving DHBs enough stock to last until Wednesday. The Government confirmed in June that about a million doses of the Pfizer vaccine would arrive during July and would arrive in several shipments throughout the second half of the month. DHL also planned a route with the quickest transit times to get the vaccines to New Zealand quickly and safely.
