Maori are getting out and getting jabbed

Both Capital and Coast and Auckland DHBs are close to reaching 90 percent fully vaccinated for their eligible Maori populations.

It comes as the Health Ministry announces 76 new cases today, most of which are in Auckland.

For Auckland DHB, about 14 hundred people need a second dose to reach the 90 percent milestone for the Maori population.

In the Capital and Coast DHB region, an additional 14 hundred and 80 vaccinations are needed to reach that mark.

Overall, the country has reached 90 percent of the eligible population fully vaccinated.

Pacific peoples are at 87 percent.
