You want AZ? Sure!
The health and political people have agreed to halve the wait time for AZ jabs meaning it’s now 6 weeks.
If you’re at home marinating and reached 6 weeks you can get your second dose now. If you had dose one this week- you’ll be fully vaxxed by October.

You like to walk? You like to run? Well you can work your little heart out now with the exercise limit removed in hotspots.
They reached 70% of first doses today and that’s what has allowed them to make the move. They’ve also had a good increase in AZ jabs.

You besties are still chasing zero and the political people think it’s still possible that you might achieve it. You go glen coco.
Over 16,000 Ken Behrens between 16&29 booked in for vax yesterday.
And the 75-79 year olds are the first in the country to reach 80% fully vaxxed. WOOP!
QUEENIES
Oi yoi yoi..
One new case - a truckie from Logan and he was infectious for five days. He came from NSW and touched things from August 28 to September 1.
He was picked up in the surveillance testing though which is good.
There’s also a family on the Goldy who have symptoms and are being tested - they were in Melbourne and the little ones told everyone in their class. Kids ey? Eeeek.
ACROSS THE DITCH
49 cases
Total 736
700 in Auckland
36 in Wellington
The political/health people say crushing the virus is what they’re going to do. Chasing zero is the best strategy for them they say - and they don’t care what Australia thinks. So get lost!

SOUTHIES
Besties, I know there were two cases in today’s numbers but these are the ones announced yesterday - the two truckies so you’re below the line for me.
Five infected workers have travelled to SA over the past six days and all have travelled from either NSW or Victoria.
