The number of Covid-19 vaccination doses in New Zealand should hit the half million mark in the next two weeks, Minister for the Covid-19 Response Chris Hipkins has revealed. He said DHBs had been told which underlying health conditions would mean people should get an earlier vaccination. The total number of active Covid cases in New Zealand today is 22, while the total number of confirmed cases is 2287. Since January 1 this year, there have been 59 historical cases, out of a total of 471 cases. A previously reported historical case has now been reclassified as "not a case” and has now been removed from our tally.
