Not sure how you work that out. The number vacinated will rise, but so will the number eligible. That could drop it below 71%, although unlikely.

It hasn't changed for a long, long time.
It may have changed from before the decision to go solely with Pfizer but I think the moans then were that there wasn't a plan.
We may have been front of the queue when we were wanting 1.5mil doses (the original plan (though I think it was a bad 'turn of phrase')) but when that changed to 10.2mil ...
ScMo got heaps of vaccine from Poland and then some from Singapore and now says he’s getting 4 million doses from the UK
Hipkins will tell us soon when he’s signed off a deal
As I understand it & happy to be corrected, but we started September with around 800,000 doses, and we are getting in 300,000 doses per week BUT since vaccination rates suddenly soared to 80 or 90,000 vaccinations being done per day, if we keep up that vaccination rate, we may not have enough before a big shipment arrives in October. It’s hard to match supply when demand is not reasonably consistent & suddenly soars ( due to the outbreak) as complacency evaporates. But using those numbers we may have enough anyway, & I don’t know why they don’t simply prioritise. Eg Why has Nelson a much higher vaccination rate than Auckland?
I think that is about it.
Australia has done a good job getting extra doses but they started a bit earlier because they didn't order enough early enough (they didn't anticipate the reluctance to get the Astra vaccine).
We didn't anticipate Delta in the community pushing people to get their shots (not so long ago it was hard to get arms to jab).
Not true.
The Auckland vaccination centres have been busy right from the word ‘go’.
I know individuals with underlying health conditions having to go from one centre to another until they got to one which accepted walk ins. They were happy to queue up for 2 hours for the opportunity to get a jab. Fact.

Terror attacked in Auckland mall.
Let’s be kind and allow back in more terrorists.
We don’t know how lucky we are to have Cindy as our ‘kind’ PM.
Wonder what attire she will be wearing when she arrives back to Auckland to comfort the victims. Hijab again?
Absolutely.
I can categorically tell you that many of the brown population of Auckland were simply not interested in getting the jab.
So what happened was that people from other races (predominantly Asians as a %tage of their population & pakeha) happily took up the spare vaccination spaces - 13,000 of the 15,500 jabs. Fact.
Just imagine for one minute what NZ would be dealing with if this terrorist had a gun.
‘Cindy said the individual was a known threat the NZ and under constant monitoring.It was the police surveillance team and special tactics group, who were part of that monitoring and surveillance, that shot and killed him. That happened within about 60 seconds of the attacks starting.’
So why was he allowed to be out there?
