Canterbury DHB offers leftover Covid vaccine to companies near vaccination sites
Good morning neighbours,
Workers not in high risk jobs can jump the queue to get a Covid-19 jab if they happen to work near a vaccination site.
The Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) has confirmed it offers the vaccine to local companies located close to vaccination clinics to prevent wastage.
CDHB Covid-19 response manager Ralph La Salle said on rare occasions, clinics had a small number of vaccine doses left at the end of the day that could not be used the next day.
“We believe [offering to local companies] is preferable to vaccine wastage.”
