With a summer of Covid-19 on its way, is there a need to bring forward the availability of booster shots or vaccinations for new variants?
On Wednesday the Health Ministry warned there may soon be up to 11,000 cases a day, similar to the last wave in July.
Ministry chief science advisor Ian Town, says they are working towards having recommendations for a bi-valent vaccine to the Director-General of Health next year - though they are also concerned about the potential for vaccine fatigue.
