30.10.2025 03:03 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes - the link you've provided says it's also funded for persons recommended by a medical officer of health. My understanding is that those who've not received the second dose in the 1969-1990 period fall in that category. I did and it was free.

27.09.2025 05:28 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Even the predicate isn't true! We were a colony, not a sovereign state. Similar territories were ahead of us eg Wyoming 1869, Utah 1870. The 1st sovereign state may have been Hawai'i (gender neutral term in 1840 constitution, changed afterwards). Pitcairn was in 1838 and kept it ever since.

Tautoko. I might personally think the decision is wrong and the proposed at grade crossing and/or new bridge is terrible for the city, but the decision's been made, confirmed as lawful, and they should just get on with it. I feel like that eternally screaming badplace account atm.
