COVID-19: Government secures two new vaccines, enough for every New Zealander to be immunised – Newshub
Vaccination of frontline workers is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2021, followed by the public from the third quarter.
Minister of Research, Science and Innovation Megan Woods said the agreements ensure New Zealand is invested in a range of options.
“As there are no guarantees that all the vaccines will successfully complete clinical trials, or be approved for use, this approach ensures we are able to access safe and effective vaccines at the earliest possible time,” Woods said.
“Our plan is to ensure no-one misses out, even if it means we’ve purchased more than we need. It’s an investment worth making.”
