Simply, inviting us or encouraging us to get the COVID-19 vaccination is not good enough. For New Zealand to reach population immunity or herd immunity we will need to strongly motivate our population to take up the vaccine. Regarding the importance of ‘urging” Kiwis to get vaccinated, the messaging to date has been somewhat lacklustre and insipid. There seems to be a hesitancy amongst our leaders to ‘urge’, with a preference to the more passive forms of action like ‘inviting’ or ‘encouraging’. Based on recent international experiences of vaccine rollouts, this less emphatic approach, will be insufficient to mobilise the numbers necessary to reach a population immunity of 75-85 perce

population immunity – ‘aka’
herd immunity.
There are three factors that stand in
the way of population immunity and any future relaxation of
border controls. These are vaccine hesitancy & vaccine
skepticism, children under 16 years old not being
vaccinated, and to a lesser extent vaccine ineffectiveness.
These factors effectively mean approximately half of our
entire population will not be immune after the full rollout
of the COVID-19 vaccination. This effectively will stop our
borders from opening.
The end game of the NZ
elimination strategy relies on effective treatments and/or a
vaccine to support the strategy’s pillars; of border
controls, detection/surveillance, contact tracing and

A new map shows the locations of interest for the two new Auckland COVID-19 cases.
The two people completed their managed isolation in the same facility and at the same time as the Northland case.
On Wednesday night, The Ministry of Health released a list of locations visited by the pair including several shops in Orewa and the North Shore.
The ministry is asking anyone who visited one of the locations of interest during the same time period, or anyone in Auckland with symptoms, to call Healthline, self isolate and get tested. It s important the right people isolate and get tested, so we don t overwhelm testing centres, Director-General of Health Dr Bloomfield said.
