Beautiful Winter Sunsets & the Covid 19 Vaccine

2/7/2021

 
Picture
According to the guidelines I could have been offered the Covid 19 vaccine by now
because I'm Māori & over the age of 55 

I've asked several times  
My enquiries have been brushed off, glossed over &/or ignored

They have offered me
  • the flu vaccine
  • a shingles vaccine
  • cardiac risk assessment &
  • a mammogram 

I just want the Covid vaccine . . . please

when i first wrote this down today
i thought
this is actually hilarious 
in an annoying 'would you like fries with that' kind of way


Our District Health Board set the lowest vaccination rate target in the country - embarrassingly low targets actually
They didn't want to 'over promise'
By the end of June they had exceeded their target by 1% - which meant they had vaccinated 8% of our region
Our regional population is 124 600 (June 2020 Wikipedia) 
The next lowest target set, by any other DHBs, was 14%
