New Zealand will receive a further one million doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination next month.

The new shipments will arrive in weekly drops - ramping up from mid-July ahead of the roll out to the general population.

The new batch will double the number of doses in the country to 1.9 million - enough to inoculate almost one million people. RNZ political editor Jane Patterson has the details.
