Hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders have been vaccinated - including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - but director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield is yet to be one of them.
Ardern told The Country's Jamie Mackay on Wednesday that Bloomfield hadn't been vaccinated because he was waiting for his age group to come up.
"That's his primary rationale. We'll be making a big song and dance about that when he does."
Bloomfield, in his mid 50s, is now eligible and has booked his vaccination, the Ministry of Health confirmed.
