Eden Park could be turned in to a short term mass Covid-19 vaccination clinic.
Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield and other health leaders have just been giving an update on rollout plans.
He says in the second half of the year there will be the need for some one-off booster events to reach tens of thousands of people in one hit.
As well as more vaccinators, health authorities will be recruiting volunteers.
One of the heads of Auckland's rollout, Counties Manukau DHB chief executive Margie Apa, says they will soon have a lot more vaccination sites running.
The focus for now remains on the priority groups - health workers, border workers and older Māori and Pasifika patients.
Dr Bloomfield says he is confident that eight million vaccinations - two for every eligible New Zealander - will be done before the end of the year.
