Fire and Emergency New Zealand is yet to confirm if it has met the deadline to get all workers fully vaccinated by Friday last week.
Figures provided to RNZ on Friday show almost 95 percent of paid firefighters and 90 percent of volunteers are double jabbed.
The Acting National Commander Ron Devlin said, "we aren't yet in a position to confirm final vaccination rates but we are confident the vast majority of communities will not be impacted".
