After breaking records in recent days, the Covid-19 vaccination effort is using up the country’s stockpile of jabs quickly, Justin Giovannetti writes in The Bulletin. The Covid-19 vaccination programme faces the perils of success. New Zealand is currently administering about 525,000 doses a week, but new deliveries only add just over 300,000 a week. We got here by fighting a Delta outbreak, and our government is trying to secure more doses. If the government needs to slow the vaccine programme, PM Jacinda Ardern said they’ll see about keeping the volume of doses up in Auckland as the city remains in level four lockdown. However, no promises were made.
