    That's the whole basis of the TransTasman travel bubble to be announced :

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...45TDS62M4FB7A/

    and the recent controlled opening up of Poland & China to vaccinated visitors.

    And some tourism dependent countries are already implementing the vaccination travel rules to allow in tourists :

    https://www.afar.com/magazine/travel...hese-countries

    First link made 0 mention of tourists being vaccinated. It just talk about a time when the borders will open up.

    Second link again, all dependent on the vaccine roll out in those other countries who plan to start traveling. Croatia opening doors for those that are vaccinated. As I mentioned before, what reason does NZ have to be quickly vaccinated ? My guess would be NZ residents wanting to visit abroad - but that's of no benefit to the NZ economy (those who spend their tourist $$ abroad).

    So why is Cindy & MOH not sharing the vaccination numbers & rollout data with NZers?

    The team of incompetents is attempting to hide the fact that other countries are charging ahead while NZ has gone from head of the vaccine queue to the very last in the OECD.

    Because the program is a complete disaster. Totally unprepared both on the ground and haven't even developed software to report the data. Once again caught completely out of their depths these bl..dy incompetents. 52k people have received a jab in 45 days since vaccinations started, which is disgraceful while other countries are racing ahead. USA inviting everyone over 16 to have a jab from 19 April and we haven't even done our frontline staff.
    This is a further huge damage to our tourism industry which will miss a lot of the pent up demand Worldwide for travel as we will not be ready when most of the World will start travelling again.

    Are you sure only 52k have had the vaccination? I heard a figure of 96k on HDA drive show tonight.

    According to the above article:
    "A Ministry of Health spokesperson responds to the Herald, confirming that 52,183 people have received one or more doses of the vaccine."

    This was on 1 April which is the last update the Herald has received. The whole article is about how difficult it is to get regular updates which is pathetic.

    tim23 I see just reading some articles now that it appears it is now up to around 90,000, or "only" 300,000 short of the plan according to a leaked MOH report. But why is this information not easily accessible and updated daily or every couple of days like many other countries , rather than media having to speculate ? Particularly from a Government that claims to be the most transparent ever !
