New Zealand’s government has set an ambitious target of fully vaccinating 90% of all eligible people to end coronavirus lockdowns. It provides a pathway to freedom for people in Auckland after more than two months under lockdown.
Currently 89% of eligible Aucklanders have had at least one dose and 73% have had both doses, a rate slightly ahead of the national average.Ardern didn’t directly address what would happen if some places fell short of the goal, although indicated there could be some flexibility if they were close.
New Zealand has so far avoided the worst of the pandemic after managing to completely extinguish all previous outbreaks through strict lockdowns, aggressive contact tracing and tight border controls. Ardern said the emergence of the delta variant had forced her government to rethink its previous elimination strategy and focus on vaccines.
