The Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield has confirmed vaccines will be prioritised for Auckland, ahead of the rest of the country.
He told Morning Report if vaccine supplies couldn't match demand vaccine supply for the rest of the country could be slowed to put Auckland first.
"One of the obviously the options which would be top of the list would be not slowing things down at Auckland," he said
"Rather than moving supply around, that would just be sort of slowing things down around the rest of the country so that Auckland can maintain its high rate."
Dr Bloomfield said that could see Auckland maintain a pro rata rate of 90,000 vaccinations, while the rest of the country would sit around 50,000 to 60,000.
