The JabberWaka cometh to Canterbury for Super Saturday vaccine drive

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The latest tool in the fight against Covid-19 is a mobile vaccination motorhome, dubbed the JabberWaka by the Canterbury District Health Board, which will be in Kaiapoi on Saturday and Sunday.

A special shuttle van will bring people from the Kaiapoi Spring Festival to the JabberWaka and back on Sunday.

The JabberWaka is one of many initiatives being rolled out this weekend as part of a national drive to get more people vaccinated against Covid-19.

A pop-up vaccination clinic at the Amberley Farmers Market at the Hurunui District Council Chambers will also run from 9am to 1pm.
