People can already get Covid-19 vaccine boosters four months after their second dose instead of waiting until next month, the Ministry of Health has clarified. The government announced on Tuesday the waiting period between the second and booster shot would reduce, in January, from six to four months. She still said the booster rollout begins for walk-ins on 5 January, 2022, for anyone aged 18 and over who had their second vaccination four months ago. One Auckland man said he lied about the date of his second vaccine when booking online and was never questioned. A vaccination staff member from the pharmacy told RNZ they had been giving people booster shots but had "basically run out of stock", which was "absolutely" the result of people coming in for Covid-19 boosters.
