A reminder for New Zealanders to get their second Covid-19 vaccine dose in the recommended time

More than 42-thousand people were fully-vaccinated as of Tuesday last week -- but about five percent were late for their second dose.
Health officials currently recommend getting both within a five week window.
Auckland University vaccinologist Dr Helen Petousis-Harris says the main disadvantage of a delay is people are more vulnerable to Covid-19, for longer than they need to be.
He says to get out of this pickle fast -- everyone needs to get fully vaccinated as fast as possible.
