The Hutt Valley has become the sixth region to achieve a full vaccination rate of 90 per cent.
Ministry of Health figures show the milestone was achieved on Monday, with the Hutt Valley District Health board joining the Auckland, Waitematā, Capital & Coast, Canterbury and Southern DHBs that have also reached the mark.
While the overall population in the valley has reached the Government target, Māori and Pasifika uptake is behind at 78 and 84 per cent, respectively. The proportion of partially vaccinated people in those populations are 89 per cent for Māori and 92 per cent for Pasifika.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival

TAP Fusion

New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.

Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February. Buy tickets here
