Marlborough Primary Health Organisation chief executive Beth Tester said Marlborough was more than ready to move into vaccinating the 60+ age bracket, even as they continued to reach those in Group 3 still without a vaccine. Group 4 was everyone else in the country, but was being done in age groups. Those aged 55 and over could get their vaccine from August 11.

Marlborough Primary Health Organisation chief executive Beth Tester said 25 per cent of the Marlborough population had been vaccinated.
