Pfizer has confirmed that about 1 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine will be delivered to New Zealand during July. This would nearly double the total number of doses delivered so far to 1.9 million - enough to vaccinate a quarter of all New Zealanders. So far, 668,115 Pfizer vaccine doses have been administered - 432,509 first doses and 235,606 second doses. Hipkins received his first dose on March 31, as did Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall. Health Minister Andrew Little got his first dose in Wellington on April 7, the same day Associate Health Minister Peeni Henare received his in Porirua.
