Influenza is a significant public health issue in New Zealand. Each year it has a large impact on our community, with 10-20% of New Zealanders infected.
As part of the Ministry of Health`s preparation for the potential impact of COVID-19 on the health sector, the 2020 influenza immunisation programme has been brought forward for eligible patients only, as they are at greatest risk of serious illness from influenza. Privately funded vaccinations will be deferred until 14th April.
We are taking appointments for flu vaccines, please ensure you are well and have been for the last week.
The Flu vaccine clinic will be running from the cabin located behind the building, please stay in your vehicle. You will be required to wait in your vehicle 20 minutes post vaccine so please try and bring a support person with you.
