Covid-19: New online tool shows people when they're likely to be vaccinated

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Want to know when it's your turn to get the Covid-19 vaccine?

An online tool which can help New Zealanders figure out which vaccination group they’re in has been released.

The questionnaire is now available on the Unite Against Covid-19 website.

Users answer a short series of questions about their health, location, job, and life situation.

The results tell them which of the four main vaccination groups they’re in, and when they can expect to get their vaccine.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the tool also provided more information about who is in each group.

“So if you’re a healthcare worker or work in a long-term residential environment, for example, it will provide an indication when you can expect to get vaccinated.

“You don’t need to provide any information that could be used to identify you, and the information you do provide isn’t saved once you leave the web page.”

The tool can be used on mobile, desktop and tablet.

The ministry said it was in the process of being translated into 24 languages, which would start to appear on the website from Monday.

The website page and online tool will be updated as the vaccine roll-out plan scales up.

“As we move through the roll-out of the vaccination programme, we want people to be as informed as soon as possible about when they can expect to be vaccinated.

“This tool is designed to make that as easy as possible,” Bloomfield said.
