New Zealand continues to be the world’s role model amid the COVID-19 crisis. The country has already garnered international praise for its ability to contain the COVID-19 outbreak within its borders, and now, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says they’ve purchased enough vaccine doses to distribute them to neighboring countries for free.
In addition to already securing 750,000 doses from Pfizer, and four million from Johnson & Johnson, the country added AstraZeneca and Novavax to the list for an additional 18.3 million doses. Since the population of New Zealand is just 5 million, it expects to have three times as many vaccines than it actually needs.
