New Zealand Covid vaccines to arrive one month early, border staff to be inoculated next week – The Guardian
Jacinda Ardern says vaccination of the wider population will begin in the second half of the year
New Zealands first Covid-19 vaccines will arrive in the country ahead of schedule in a win for the government, which has been criticised for being too slow to procure them.
