The Big Boost

People over the age of 18 are being encouraged to put aside a little time this weekend to join the close to 600,000 Aucklanders who have now received their booster dose.

All community vaccination centres are open and there are multiple pop-up events, big and small, taking place right across the city, including a large tamariki focussed event being held at a south Auckland marae.

With close to 400 vaccinating GPs and pharmacies across the city, many Aucklanders have been opting to head to their local GP or pharmacy to get their booster. They have also been choosing to bring along their tamariki aged 5 to 11 to get their first dose.

The vaccination of 5-11-year-olds has also hit a significant milestone this week with over 50 percent of those eligible having now received their first doses of the vaccine.
