Northlanders can now book an appointment for a Novavax vaccine. Appointments are available from Monday, March 21, in Kaitaia, Kerikeri, Whangārei and Dargaville. Bookings required via Book My Vaccine https://bookmyvaccine.covid19.health.nz/
If your first dose was a different vaccine you require a prescription from your GP to have Novavax as your second dose.
Meanwhile, Attorney-General David Parker says New Zealand will be returning to normal faster than we might imagine given the Omicron outbreak had not overwhelmed the health system.
"Next week we will be making announcements on what happens to vaccine certificates and vaccine mandates.
"So as we pass through the Omicron peak I've got some confidence that we're going to return to normality probably faster than people expect," Parker told the AM show.
While ruling out any major changes to come into effect within the next seven days due to the current outbreak Parker said the peak had not overwhelmed the public health system.
"Even though we're at peak the hospital system whilst under pressure is under control and we've got enough ICU beds."
