note time locked...says get a booster today
16 April 2022
People are being urged to check their Covid-19 vaccination status, as they head off for the holidays.
Otago University epidemiologist, Michael Baker, says about 95 percent of eligible people are vaccinated, but over a third haven't had a booster yet.
He says that means they'll be more vulnerable to getting infected and seriously ill.
Baker says there's still time to get a booster today.
He says children's vaccination status should also be checked because only 20 percent of five to 11 year olds are vaccinated, which is too low.
