Covid On The Rise

It is expected that around 3550 deaths in NZ are Covid-related by the end of 2023.

Covid is on the up again throughout the world and NZ is no exception although we still have very high figures of vaccination taking.

Having said that, there is the need for a further vaccination boost in NZ. People who fit into specific categories need a repeated vaccination. And it is so easy and free to get a jab.

Those most vulnerable to Covid are the elderly and those with significant medical problems. So in NZ it is those aged over 75, Maori and Pacifica aged over 65, those aged 30-74 with complex health needs and those aged 16 and over who are severely immuno compromised.

Those getting Covid in 2023 not part of the above categories are mainly getting it mild and bounce back after a few days but are still subject to the dangers of long-term Covid and permanent health damage.

I have found the Covid vaccination jab almost a nothingness in discomfort or twinge of pain but for those who dread the insertion of a needle, help is on its way. Not far off - perhaps in 2025 - vaccination by way of a nasal-spray will take over from the jab.
