Auckland has cracked a vaccination milestone; 81 percent of the eligible population's had one dose of Pfizer.
There is a push this weekend to get more vaccinated. The carrot is a possible alert level shift when Cabinet meets on October 4 with Te Pirimia Jacinda Ardern hinting the chances could be better if the city hits 90 percent with a single dose of Pfizer.
But Māori and Pasifika are way behind in the statistics.
Ko taku manuhiri inaianei ko Dr Anthony Jordan from the Northern Regional health co-ordination Centre Vaccination Programme.
