Fourth Jab Coming Up
Without doubt, a fourth Pfizer Covid jab is on the way for the population at large in NZ. And soon.
A variant (BA.2) of the Omicron variant of Covid is on its way. Already the highly contagious BA.2 has taken over as the current most significant of the Covid variants to affect the USA population with 51% of all new positive cases. Within the next week or two it will be officially decreed that it is necessary for all those aged over 50 or are immune compromised in the USA to get a fourth jab (or a second booster which is the same thing).
This is the new Covid wave we in NZ have been expecting.
A fourth jab will be recommended in the USA as soon as four months after the third jab has been reached.
So there are too many in NZ who are resisting a third jab and shortly we will have the majority of eligible people in NZ getting their 4th. On top of this, too many children aged 5-11 in NZ are not been vaccinated. It is like an ambulance trying to get through a traffic jam.
At the very least, updated vaccination passes will be relevant and indoor restrictions and masking retained or reintroduced.
Another attack on Parliament by peacemakers? Don't count it out.
