COVID-19 booster vaccination rates are still lower than the Southern DHB would like
One in four adults in New Zealand have still not gotten their COVID-19 booster vaccination. Just over 71% of eligible New Zealanders have received their COVID-19 booster shot, compared to the 95% who are double vaccinated.
Karl Metzler, who leads the Covid-19 vaccination rollout for the Southern District Health Board spoke with us about these low booster vaccination rates, why people aren't getting vaccinated, and what can be done to increase the uptake of booster shots.
