COVID-19 vaccination in New Zealand began on 20 February 2021,[2] and will continue throughout the pandemic with the goal of vaccinating all willing New Zealanders aged 5 or older. Those aged 5 to 11 require a parent, caregiver or legal guardian accompany them to their appointment and provide consent for them to be vaccinated.[3] As of 1 September, anyone in New Zealand, regardless of their immigration status, is eligible to be vaccinated.[4][5]
