Influenza vaccinations will be available from Friday 1 April. We will be running a vaccination clinic outside PathLab between 2:30pm and 4pm. The plan is to run a clinic every afternoon at these times dependent on vaccine availability.

As usual Influenza vaccinations are free for all those over 65 and those under 65 with chronic health conditions. This year they are also free for Māori and Pacific people age over 55. There is also no delay for those who wish to get a vaccination but are ineligible for a free vaccine. If you don’t qualify for a free vaccine the cost is $35.

The clinic will be outdoor under a gazebo as before so please remember to use sunscreen, sunhat or bring an umbrella depending on the weather. Also a reminder to wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
