Influenza vaccinations for 2020
29 April 2020 - There will be 1.768 million doses of influenza vaccine available this flu season, a 30% (400,000 doses) increase on the number of doses available in 2019.
Delivery of the influenza vaccine was scheduled for a 1 April start date. It was recognised that bringing forward the vaccination start date could put pressure on early supplies.
When the funded influenza vaccine programme began on 16 March 2020, just under 900,000 influenza vaccines were available in New Zealand (out of the 1.768 million planned).
