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.
Highlights this week: Boosted 16x the rate of infection per-capita, 16x the rate of Hospitalisation and 4x the death rate per capita of the 0-dose cohort. Cases Overall Cases since First Recorded Case For the No Dose group, the first case is from March 2020. 40+ months. For the Boosted Group, the first case is…

There was a bit of a jump in the percentage of the 1-dose cohort…
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…
Highlights this week: Boosted 13x the rate of infection per-capita, 6.6x the rate of Hospitalisation but under twice the death rate per capita of the 0-dose cohort. Cases Overall Cases since First Recorded Case For the No Dose group, the first case is from March 2020. 40+ months. For the Boosted Group, the first case…
Cases Overall Cases since First Recorded Case For the No Dose group, the first case is from March 2020. 40+ months. For the Boosted Group, the first case is from December 2021. 20+ months. New Cases This Week This week, over 13x the rate of infection for the Boosted compared to the 0-dose (13.77x). Hospitalisations…
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.
