Covid-19: West Coast nearly 90 percent double vaccinated

From Checkpoint, 6:11 pm on 17 December 2021

It has some of the lowest immunisation rates in the South Island, but the West Coast is now only 1500 shots shy of achieving ninety percent fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

In mid October, just over 50 percent of Coasters were fully vaccinated, but four-wheel-drive mobile clinics rolled out two months ago have helped to rapidly boost rates.
