Nelson Marlborough Health

It has never been more urgent to get New Zealand vaccinated

Summer is just 8 weeks away and we need you to book you first vaccine appointment now so you can get 2 doses and enjoy everything a classic Kiwi summer has to offer.

The more of us are vaccinated, the more protection we will have against COVID-19, and the more freedom this gives us. That is why we are asking you to support the national day of action on Saturday 16 October — Super Saturday.

If you have not been vaccinated yet, vaccine clinics will be open all over the region. We have pop-ups, drive-throughs and more. Super Saturday events on 16 October are listed below and if you are looking for other ways to get vaccinated, here they are.

It's our shot NZ: Now is the time!

08/10/2021

At least 80% of people aged 12+ in our region have had their first COVID-19 vaccine, and 59% their second. Awesome!

progress chart whole3

If you are in the 20% (average across our region) still not vaccinated, we need you to get your first vaccine now so you can get two doses before summer. Here's how.

The more of us fully vaccinated, the more protection we will have against COVID-19, and the more freedom this gives us. This is our shot people!

Pop into a pop-up, cruise through a drive-through, walk into a clinic, book with your GP or pharmacy.

All types of clinic are listed on our main webpage here.

You'll also find details of our competition on that page. We have iPhones, iPads and data top-up cards up for grabs.
