Bollocks - they could stop it by putting the whole country into another four week lockdown... and "all they did in the last 18 months" was get a large chunk of the population vaccinated
Stay home and stay safe everybody...

Those advantages are not to be sneezed at and you make use of them, or not, at your peril.

Will they get contaminated?Like everything to do with this virus nothing is certain but at least the risk of infection and subsequent serious harm is mitigated if you are exposed to the virus, and the chances of this occurring are greater if you are in an area with widespread infected individuals, which is likely to be anywhere in NZ within the next few months.

If 2nd dose was towards end of July, they will only be at 47% protection against infection, just in time for xmas visits from Auckland. They can't get a booster until end Jan. Yet there's no advice as to whether those people need to stay at home or add to a possible infection pool.
