The COVID-19 vaccine will be offered to everyone in New Zealand 16 years and older.
The vaccine will not be given to people aged 15 or younger. This is because there has not been a lot of testing of the COVID-19 vaccine on children yet.
If you are pregnant talk to your vaccinator, midwife or doctor.
If you have had an allergic reaction to any vaccine or injection in the past, tell your vaccinator.
If you are on medicines that thin your blood or have a bleeding disorder, please let your vaccinator know.
If you are worried about getting vaccinated because of your health or any medicines you take, talk to your doctor.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms, get a test and stay at home until you get your results. You can be vaccinated once you have a negative test.
A Vaccinator is a person who is trained to give you the COVID-19 vaccine. It may be a nurse or your doctor.
