Chris Hipkins (Minister for Covid 19 Response) said today that the Government is now telling people to get a second vaccination three weeks after the first instead of a six week gap because there is now sufficient vaccine available and a three week gap lessons further the possibility of becoming infected with Covid and Delta Covid.
Hold on.
Originally it was a three week gap between the initial vaccination and the booster vaccination until Jacinda Ardern and her Government told us that four, five and six weeks is better than three because it makes the vaccine in our bodies more effective.
Now Chris is saying something quite different.
Stand up the truth.

I am a sweet dog looking for my forever home. I am looking for a very special home that can understand my quirks and needs. A home that can help me thrive and be the best companion I can be. My ideal home would be one that has had previous large dog experience and or greyhound. I walk beautifully on a lead but in saying that I would need a home that can handle me as I can be strong when I want. I have had a fair amount of training from my previous home but there is always room for more growth. I am super smart and a lover of all yummy foods so will pick up new things very quickly. I can be shy when meeting new people so I would love a quiet patient home that can read when I am not comfortable. A home with no children. I could live with an older settled male dog but in saying this I am used to having my own space. I am not suited to a home with cats or any small animals."
