The government has slowly and steadily been moving away from the Group vaccination approach. The current covid outbreak has helped the numbers grow by giving people an obvious reason to get vaccinated. However, even allowing for the fact that specific groups may not be being recorded when people go for a vaccination (especially at drive-throughs etc), I'd like to understand if the government has any idea at all of how many of Group 3 have been vaccinated, given that they are more vulnerable than Group 4. It may be that we now have a large group of relatively safe people vaccinated, along with a high proportion of vulnerable people that aren't, and my guess is they have no idea whether they do nor not. Also, given that Ardern said yesterday that the "strategy is to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate", it would be good to know if she now believes / admits their relaxed approach to vaccination at the end of last year and beginning of this was the wrong one?
