COVID-19: Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine approved in New Zealand but still no arrival date, as Government reveals who gets first jabs

The New Zealand government has granted Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine provisional approval, but did not disclose when the 750,000 doses will arrive, Newshub reports. Nevertheless, they revealed that managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) cleaners, nurses, security staff, customs and border officials, and airline staff will be the first to get their jabs. Meanwhile, Medsafe’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine comes with 58 conditions, 52 of which relate to requiring additional manufacturing data from the company, for instance as it upscales its manufacturing.
