During Lockdown we are operating a DRIVE-THRU Vaccination clinic

Whakatōhea Health is providing COVID vaccinations for whānau in the Ōpōtiki area.

If you would like a vaccination appointment, please contact your normal GP practice in Ōpōtiki and ask to be put on our vaccination waitlist. We will then contact you directly to make an appointment at one of our vaccination clinics on Tuesdays and Fridays.

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

The majority of routine vaccinations can now be administered before, after, or at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccinations. The exception to this is the Zostavax (shingles) vaccine where a 7-day gap before or after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 is advised. If you have any questions, please discuss with your health provider.
