COVID-19

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

The Ministry of Health announced this morning that the standard gap between first and second doses of the COVID-19 Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to is being extended to six weeks.

Vaccination bookings will also be open for everyone aged 16+ from 1 September.

From today, new bookings made through BookMyVaccine.nz and via the COVID Vaccine Healthline 0800 28 29 26 will default to six-weeks between first and second doses.

People who have already been fully vaccinated don’t need to do anything, The Pfizer vaccine is highly effective if people have both doses, at least three weeks apart.

People who already have vaccinations booked that are less than six weeks apart can keep their second appointment or choose to change it at BookMyVaccine.nz or by phoning the COVID Vaccination Health line 0800 28 29 26 (8am – 8pm, 7 days).

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
