Whanganui has dropped further in the race to be New Zealand's first town to reach the 90 per cent fully vaccinated milestone.
Whanganui is sitting at number 32 of New Zealand's 72 local authorities, with exactly 63 per cent fully protected, according to Ministry of Health data.
That data is from Tuesday and is slightly behind the Whanganui DHB's data, which has the region at 65.4 per cent fully vaccinated.
That is a drop of five from number 27, where Whanganui was sitting last Friday.
