11,500 more Aucklanders to receive first Covid-19 jab at mass vaccination event this weekend
Kia ora koutou.
Almost 4700 people received a Covid-19 vaccine at New Zealand’s first mass vaccination event on Friday.
At least 11,500 people are expected to get their first doses of the Pfizer vaccine at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau over the weekend.
The events centre is set up with 242 vaccination booths which are tended to by 12 vaccinators each day of the event.
The event will run from 9am to 7.30pm on Saturday and 9am to 8pm on Sunday and is by appointment only.
People are asked to arrive at the time of their appointment, so they can register quickly to help manage demand.
People cannot go directly to the Vodafone Events Centre on the day, unless they have a disability parking sticker. Everyone else should go to the Manukau Institute of Technology campus and travel to the events centre via the shuttle buses provided.
Another mass vaccination event will be held in six weeks for second doses.
