More than 5200 Covid-19 vaccinations have been administered in South Canterbury, according to latest figures released by the Ministry of Health.
Nationally, 304,900 Pfizer injections have been delivered to date.
As of May 5, there had been 3792 first doses and 1439 second doses administered in South Canterbury.
That figure is 12 per cent below the planned target for the region, but South Canterbury District Health Board (SCDHB) Covid-19 vaccination programme operational lead Carol Murphy said there was an explanation for that.
