David Farrar: Health Target 2 – Immunisations


The second health target is to get the two year immunisation rate back up to 95%.

As you can see the rate was very close to 95% under National. It dipped slightly in the transition year to 91.9%. Then it plummeted from 2020 to 2024 to 77.9%. A huge job ahead to get it back to where it was.

The immunisation rate is now so low, that we arguably no longer have herd immunity to some of those childhood diseases.

David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders.
