COVID vaccines in New Zealand have arrived a month ahead of schedule, with border staff to be vaccinated from next week. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Arden said hundreds of thousands of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines were arriving far ahead of their expected delivery in March. 

New Zealand has ordered 15 million doses of the COVID Vaccine from four different sources. After covering the country’s population of only 5 million, the remaining vaccines will be distributed throughout the pacific.
