dont think ramping up vaccination rates sooner would have made much difference, the areas in Auckland being hit are still only at 30-40% vaccinated months after vaccinations were ramped up. Keeping Auckland at level 4 would have done nothing to the cases , from anecdotal evidence the areas that had the cases were not at level 4 anyway and they weren't going to eliminate Delta so they did what was best for the majority of Auckland and moved to level 3. What is coming is going to be along race and poverty lines.The worse off you are , the worse Covid will effect you.

 

 

A huge chunk of our population only became eligible for the vaccine very recently, so quite hard to believe it wouldn't have 'made much difference'. 

 

Also the vaccine availability was limited to a handful of drive-through sites and some specific vaccination centres, whereas now many pharmacies, GPs etc are providing it.

 

do you think the uptake would have been any better when the need wasnt there to get vaccinated , because even now the majority in the areas it is needed are still not getting vaccinated. South Auckland was in group 4 from the outset and the uptake has always been low.
