There were also 13,376 booster doses administered yesterday, taking the total to date to 1,300,364. Also, 4,208 paediatric doses were given yesterday, bringing the total to 163,491.

With Omicron in New Zealand, the best thing you can do is get your booster as soon as it is due. Evidence to date is that the rate of adverse reactions to a booster doses is similar to people receiving their second dose.

Boosters lower your chances of getting very sick and being hospitalised. Being boosted also helps slow the spread of the virus. That’s why it’s important to get your booster four months after your second dose - so if you’re over 18 and your booster is due, please get it now.

Omicron update
Public health teams are continuing to manage both Omicron and Delta cases in the community through rapidly isolating cases and contacts, contact tracing, and testing to slow the spread.

Whole genome sequencing continues to take place on all new unlinked cases of Covid-19 and provides additional information to aid public health decisions. The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is now the dominant variant, therefore the specific variant of the virus is no longer being reported alongside case numbers. As cases continue to increase, the priority for whole genome sequencing will be to highlight patterns of virus spread rather than individual cases.

Wearing a mask, physical distancing and scanning in using the COVID-19 Tracer app when you’re out and about will all help slow the spread of Omicron.

The most common early symptoms of the Omicron variant are a sore or scratchy throat, and a runny nose. So if you have these symptoms, please get a test, and stay at home until you get a negative result and symptoms are resolved.

Testing and vaccination centre locations nationwide can be found on the Healthpoint website.
