Vaccination numbers released today (24/11) show that Whāingaroa has a low uptake of Covid vaccination with Raglan on 83% first dose, Around Raglan on 82% first dose and Te Akau higher on 88%. Second dose vaccinations are even lower with Raglan on 74% 2nd dose, Around Raglan on 73% 2nd dose and Te Akau on 80%. If Whāingaroa was a DHB region it would come in under Northland, the lowest region of NZ on 84% first dose and 74% second dose.
Progress in Whāingaroa continues to be slow but steady with 62 having had their first jab over the last week. This slow progress means we need another 413 from Whāingaroa (Raglan, Around Raglan and Te Akau) to have their first dot to start on the way so the target of 90% is exceeded. For the 2nd dot another 1030 people need to have one to get to 90%.
Testing and vaccination is also available at Raglan Medical. Monday to Friday by making an appointment on (07) 825 0114.
