The federal government, who also did too little too late, have now acquired additional vaccine supplies for use in Sydney, the worst affected city. These arrived yesterday and the jabs have started today.
Hi All,
Sadly the Delta variant has "jumped the ditch" from New South Wales to New Zealand so we are back in hard lock-down in the hope of once again containing it even though the virus spreads more rapidly than the previous ones. The world news thought we were over re-acting when Jacinda locked us down on one case, However that case is now 30+.
I am hoping to get my first vaccine today (Sat 21 Aug) Good luck everyone....
