The aims of this paper are twofold. The first is to study the rate of convergence of the sequence of vectors of expectations, variances and covariances in NHMS. It is proved that under certain conditions easily met in practice the rate is geometric. The second is to study the rate of convergence of the same sequence when the NHMS is under cyclic behaviour and it is also proved that the rate of convergence of the d subsequences (d being the period of the cycle) in which the sequence splits is geometric.
