Ministry of Health figures show the milestone was achieved on Monday, with the Hutt Valley District Health board joining the Auckland, Waitematā, Capital & Coast, Canterbury and Southern DHBs that have also reached the mark.
While the overall population in the valley has reached the Government target, Māori and Pasifika uptake is behind at 78 and 84 per cent, respectively. The proportion of partially vaccinated people in those populations are 89 per cent for Māori and 92 per cent for Pasifika.

- Size 41 in the “sorrell” style in blue.
Leather and non-leather upper with centre zip fastening; leather lining with removable arch support and comfort cushion inner sole and heel.

In case any one is interested you may get a look at Comet Leonard (The Christmas Comet) with Binoculars or a telescope in the next few weeks. It's not been seen for thousands of years — and will never be seen again.
Gotta be worth a look to see if you can see it.

FYI..
Visually comets rarely look like all the photos that you see of them with a huge tail (as a time exposure was used), sometimes there is a tail visible but they usually look like a green fuzzy blob. Don't be disappointed if a green blob is all you see.... at least you will be one of the few people who actually saw it with your own eyes. :-}
