The unvaccinated Thames-Coromandel mayor Sandra Goudie has talked about why she won't be getting the noravax vaccine.
Last year Sandra Goudie said she wouldn't get the Pfizer vaccine because she said she was waiting for Novavax instead.
On Wednesday the government announced a quarter of a million doses of Novavax was available from today but Ms Goudie said she would not be getting vaccinated.
She is not currently allowed into council buildings - they require vaccine passes for entry. So she is chairing meetings remotely.
Mayor Goudie told RNZ reporter Sam Olley her vaccination status was a personal, private choice.
