We're lucky to be Covid free in NZ (apart from the ones that get quarantined at the border that develop it) so there hasn't been a big vaccine push apart from border workers & communities closest to the quarantine hotels. I suspect things will ramp up in the next few months. We've also done something similar to AU in that we've bought sufficient vaccine capacity to aide various Pacific Island nations with their efforts.
Lot of lobbying to open up a more seamless border with Aussie but the continued community outbreaks there mean it keeps getting delayed. We'll see what happens in the next few months I guess... Flu Season is also due to start so there are usually free jabs available for that too - although with so many people adapted to work-from-home I suspect the spread of coughs, colds & flus will be lower than usual anyway (it certainly was last year).
