'If a vaccinated 5-11 year old (of which there are over a quarter of a million) becomes a covid case, hospitalisation or death the MoH counts them all to the unvaccinated category. ' do you have a reference for this Splendid? I did a post on the high number of kids being hospitaised with covid. This would explain that.

If you scroll down to page 5 there is a section about mis-classifying children. I included my email correspondence with the MOH. I can forward you the original email correspondence if you would prefer. At some point, the MOH changed things and started included children in the count. I can't remember what date they changed it - I may be able to find that in my files - but it wasn't for quite some time. It's incredibly annoying that they redirected that page to avoid us using Wayback.

It was stated on this page: https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/our-health-system/data-and-statistics/covid-19-data/covid-19-case-demographics

But Wayback has no archived versions of it (I think the page is a redirect - I'm not sure how to get to the original). I screenshotted everything I could along the way. Let me have a search through my files and see if I can find a screenshot of the old page. Will let you know if/when I find it.

Actually - I have a feeling I corresponded with the Ministry for clarification on that point - will check.
