New Zealand's Covid-19 vaccine roll-out is officially under way, with many of the 100 vaccinators getting their first of two Pfizer jabs. “Today we’ve vaccinated 25 Auckland-based vaccinators who will start giving the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to border and MIQ staff from tomorrow. "That's a whole lot better than wondering if you're going to catch the virus tomorrow." From tomorrow, border workers will be vaccinated, starting in Auckland. Ministry planning scenarios show if there was a Covid-19 outbreak, the population at risk would be next in line to receive the vaccine after healthcare and border workers.
