Vaccination Programme
The COVID-19 vaccination programme will resume from 8am tomorrow (Thursday 19 August).
Vaccination sites will be operating under Alert Level 4 conditions. This means capacity will be reduced due to physical distancing requirements, and other safety measures will be in place.
The reduced capacity means we may need to postpone some appointments. If we need to postpone your appointment you will be contacted by the Ministry of Health, your DHB, or healthcare provider. If you don’t hear anything, please go to your appointment as scheduled.
COVID-19 vaccination is free for everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand. You can get the vaccine if you’re aged 16 or over – it doesn’t matter what your visa or citizenship status is. |
