What’s going on? Time to know the plans to turn the vaccines into millions of vaccinations?
Great news New Zealand has begun its COVID-19 vaccination programme. We are all pleased to have heard Minister Hipkins and Director General Bloomfield declare that small batches of vaccine have arrived for border and managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) workers and they are being vaccinated over the next few weeks. Yet so far we have heard very little about what the actual detailed implementation plans are to deliver the vaccinations to the general NZ public. Except for broad statements on how the Government is planning to turn the COVID-19 vaccines into actual vaccinations, with jabs into millions of Kiwi arms, the actual preparations remain largely unknown to the public.
