2.Auckland
(呼籲高陽性率區域就算完整接種疫苗也要盡快出來篩檢)
Auckland public health officials continue to urge residents in Redvale,
Rosedale, New Lynn, Wiri, Drury, Manurewa and Henderson to get tested as soon
as possible if they have even very mild symptoms that might be COVID-19, even
if they are fully vaccinated.
This testing will help to provide assurance that any undetected spread of
COVID-19 in these communities is identified as quickly as possible.

Law change recognises vaccinations received overseas by border workers
Three of the vaccines commonly administered overseas are now recognised by
the Vaccinations Order that requires people working at New Zealand’s borders
to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
This follows a change to the legislation, which took effect at 11:59 pm
Sunday October 17 and responds to the need to recognise other vaccines beyond
the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, which is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently
available in New Zealand.
“This move will support employers to enable workers who have completed their
course with the Moderna, AstraZeneca, Janssen, or Pfizer vaccines overseas to
work on or around the border. It will also support some employers when
recruiting people to work on or around the border, especially for specialised
roles,” says Fiona Michel, Acting National Director Operations, Covid-19
Vaccine and Immunisation Programme.
“Under the previous version of the Vaccinations Order, their vaccination
status was not recognised. But these are all vaccines that are either
provisionally approved by Medsafe, or by a trusted regulator,” says Ms
Michel.
To meet the requirements of the amended Vaccinations Order, a border worker
who has received a single-dose of the two-dose Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca
vaccines while overseas will need to have a further single dose of the Pfizer
COVID-19 vaccine. A border worker who has been vaccinated with the Janssen
vaccine while overseas will not require a further dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

嬌生的話就不要求打第二劑輝瑞
The amendment also allows the Director-General of Health to authorise a
border worker who is partially vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna or
AstraZeneca vaccines, or a border worker who is partially vaccinated with
another vaccine not named above, to continue working at the border if the
Director-General is satisfied that the vaccine received by the worker while
overseas will adequately prevent or limit the risk of an outbreak or spread
of COVID-19.
“The amendment updates the Vaccinations Order so that it’s consistent with
clinical advice on the alternatives to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine,” Ms
Michel says.
“When the original Vaccinations Order was written, the Pfizer vaccine was
the only COVID-19 vaccine provisionally approved by Medsafe. The change
aligns the Order with Medsafe’s provisional approval of two of these other
vaccines.”
The Vaccinations Order was introduced because the duties carried out by
members of the border workforce put them at a higher risk of exposure to
COVID-19.
“The Order plays a critical role in keeping border workers, their whānau,
communities and all New Zealanders safe.”
