From this Friday, if you’re 18 or older and had your second Pfizer vaccine 3 months ago, you’ll be eligible for your booster. Get in touch with us on 09 534 3978 or bookmyvaccine.co.nz to book your appointment.
From this Friday, everyone aged 18 or older can receive a Pfizer booster 3 months after getting their second vaccine, or third vaccine for immune compromised people. The gap has been reduced from 4 months to 3 months to shore up our defences against Omicron. Reducing the interval now means an additional 1 million New Zealanders are eligible to receive their booster before the end of summer.
Current evidence shows protection against infection after the primary vaccination course decreases over time. Getting a ‘top up’ vaccine after your two doses helps boost your immunity against COVID-19. Boosters also lower your chances of getting very sick from COVID-19 and ending up in hospital.
From Friday, you will be able to book your booster at bookmyvaccine.nz or walk-in to a vaccination centre near you.
