"There is now more than enough vaccine in the country to vaccinate at the world leading rates we were hitting earlier in the month, and I strongly encourage every New Zealander not yet vaccinated to do so as soon as possible," Ardern said in an e-mailed statement. About 1.7 million people in Auckland remain in a strict level four lockdown but curbs have been eased in the rest of the country.
