The new events reported bring the total number of AEFI to 457 – just 0.8 per cent of the total number of doses given (55,143) to March 27. 443 were deemed non-serious. Overall, of the 457 reports of adverse side effects to March 27, just 14 – 3 per cent – were deemed serious.

Of 457 adverse event reports made following Covid-19 vaccination to March 27, only 14 – 3 per cent – were deemed serious. Eleven were allergic reactions. Of these, 11 were allergic reactions. An adverse event is considered serious if it is a “medically important” event or reaction; requires hospitalisation or prolongs an existing hospitalisation; causes persistent or significant disability or incapacity; is life-threatening; causes a congenital anomaly (birth defect); or results in death.
The vaccine has also been found to be 100 per cent effective against severe diseases, as defined by the CDC, and 95.3 per cent effective against severe cases of Covid-19 as defined by the FDA. However, there is still a “small proportion” of people who may get the virus. Murdoch said this is fairly typical of vaccines against any disease, as “there is no perfect vaccine”. However, effectiveness rates of the Covid-19 vaccines are “at the higher end of any vaccine we have”. While it was “not necessarily a surprise” that a vaccinated person could still contract Covid-19, it was an “uncommon event”, Murdoch said.

Kākahungia te tangata ki te aroha, kaua ki te whakawhiu - Our people need a cloak of support and care, not punishment and stigma.
At pivotal moments, New Zealanders from all backgrounds and cultures have come together to reform unfair laws and build the health of our communities. As a society we strive for fairness and equality, because we recognise that what affects one part of our community affects all of us. When we support compassionate and commonsense policies, our whole country benefits.
