On the heels of Hawke’s Bay’s CV VX rollout, May 10th saw nearly 200 people present to the Hospital Emergency Dept within a 24 hr period

Two articles, one from Stuff the other from the NZ Herald, links below.

The people presenting to the ED one article says, had serious health conditions.

Note, the VX rollout may not of course be related to the influx of health emergencies, however the latter has had the effect as noted, of tying up services & delaying scheduled appointments & operations. It’s hoped we will learn in due course the reason for the sudden influx.

The VX rollout began the week of April 28th & by May 6th 7,872 doses had been administered.
