Services A-Z

On this page

    We provide free mobile outreach hauora services that include vaccination and advocacy support for whānau in the Central Otago region.  We can tautoko you to make responsible choices that impact positively on your lifestyle.

    COVID-19 Vaccination

    Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is an important step you can take to protect yourself, your kaumātua and whānau from the effects of the virus. For more information on the COVID-19 vaccines and eligibility visit Ministry of Health - COVID-19 vaccines

    Covid-19 vaccines can be administered before, after, or at the same time as other national schedule vaccines. When the Nuvaxovid vaccine is given at the same time as the Shingrix shingles vaccine or the Fluad Quad flu vaccine, there may be a chance of experiencing a stronger post-vaccination response and you should discuss this with your vaccinator.
