A paediatrician says she's pleased Pfizer vaccine rollout for five- to 11-year-olds will likely begin next month. 

The Government's signalled it expects to begin the programme in January, subject to Medsafe approval. 

Dr Jin Russell told Heather du Plessis-Allan that will align us with our Trans-Tasman neighbours. 

She said we've heard the Australians were planning to start in mid-January, and we didn't want to lag behind them.
