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
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%
