Covid is on the up again throughout the world and NZ is no exception although we still have very high figures of vaccination taking.
Having said that, there is the need for a further vaccination boost in NZ. People who fit into specific categories need a repeated vaccination. And it is so easy and free to get a jab.
Those most vulnerable to Covid are the elderly and those with significant medical problems. So in NZ it is those aged over 75, Maori and Pacifica aged over 65, those aged 30-74 with complex health needs and those aged 16 and over who are severely immuno compromised.
Those getting Covid in 2023 not part of the above categories are mainly getting it mild and bounce back after a few days but are still subject to the dangers of long-term Covid and permanent health damage.
I have found the Covid vaccination jab almost a nothingness in discomfort or twinge of pain but for those who dread the insertion of a needle, help is on its way. Not far off - perhaps in 2025 - vaccination by way of a nasal-spray will take over from the jab.

Ardie is not staying around the Sports Institute in Heretaunga for 2024 and as the leader and captain of Hurricanes as he has taken a "sabbatical" to play for big bucks in Japan.
But he will be back for the ABs in their international part of the season.
Around 2013 I was in the Cossie club in Himitangi watching Hurricanes play one of the top NZ sides in the Super rugby comp. All Black great, Julian "The Bus" Savea scored one or two of his famous tries of the time and a bloke at the club said to me that his brother was going to be an even greater player. No way I had thought.
So cometh the time, cometh the man, and Ardie has probably outdone his older brother.
An Aunt of Ardie and Julian lives in Upper Hutt and she is very proud of her nephews.
I still believe that Ardie's best position in the loose forward department is openside flanker but he has been forced to hone some of his talents towards the number 8 role.
