Those at high risk of Covid-19 in south Auckland and
certain aged care facilities will be priorities for the
vaccine roll-out after border and frontline healthcare
workers.
Following this group will be over-65s and
people with underlying health conditions across the country.
The vaccine will then be distributed to the remainder of the
population.
The SMC asked experts to comment on the
roll-out plan.
Dr Collin
Tukuitonga, Associate Dean Pacific, Faculty of Medical and
Health Sciences, University of Auckland,
comments:
“I think it’s fantastic that
south Auckland is a priority in the vaccine roll-out.
We’ve been lobbying for this to happen for some weeks now.
