We’re not as vaccinated as we think

Using the Stats NZ population date and the Ministry of Health vaccination stats (as of 23 May) I’ve calculated how vaccinated New Zealand is. The data is:

• Ineligible 305,510 6.0%
• No doses 527,345 10.3%
• 1 dose 188,138 3.7%
• 2 doses 1,418,327 27.7%
• 3 doses 2,683,280 52.4%

I think a 4th booster dose will be available soon. I’ll certainly get it, but I suspect I will be in a minority. The fact that three quarters of children aged 5 to 11 have not had two doses suggests that there is a limit to how often people will get boosters.
