In several media reports yesterday it was stated that 1 million children had been vaccinated.
This is not true... according to the latest update from the MOH less than 500,000 have been vaccinated (based on first doses). ("As at 29 May, a total of 908,118 doses of MeNZBTM vaccine have been given, including 453,210 first doses")
