Many breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday as the first of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccines began to roll out to port workers and their families at Port Marlborough. Some 35 frontline port workers at Port Marlborough were under the needle on Wednesday, and the DHB expects to vaccinate approximately 70 more, plus around 300 household contacts in this first round. Among the first to receive their jabs were marine operations manager and Pilot for Port Marlborough Matt Conyers and Port Marlborough Tug Master Mike Beech.
