Weekly updates from NZ Ministry of Health (“Te Whatu Ora”), presented by Vaccination Status, and other Vaccination Status-related data.
As of 24 February 2024, TWO has stopped providing Vaccination Status data for Cases/Hospital/ICU/Deaths with Covid. I will resume the Weekly updates if they ever return.
Unless otherwise specified, all data presented in this section is sourced from the NZ Government, with links to that source data provided.
**Data to 6 February 2024 has Case/Hospital/ICU per-capita based on the entire population but lacking the 12 and under values, this had no impact on any Boosted per-capita rates, but artificially decreased all others. With the correct values, each of 2/1/0 dose cohorts per-capita values would be higher.
From 6 February 2024 these per-capita statistics are based on the population with the 5-12s removed. No change to Death per-capita.

Who’s Getting The Jab in NZ? – NZ Vaccination Stats – Cohort Changes – week ending 6 October 2023
Somebody asked on X “who is still getting the jab?”. I figured that might make an interesting exercise, so I took a look. Very basic maths: Take the number of “Vaccinations Last Week” from the MoH stats, and divide that by the number of people in the “previous cohort”. ie: Number of 2nd Doses Given…

Why did the number of 0-4 year olds dying in NZ double in 2022 compared to previous years?
Based on the response to an OIA, where HNZ has provided Mortality data by age group, it appears as though the number of infants (0-4 year old) may have more than doubled in 2022.
