We’ll be continuing to vaccinate at current capacity until the end of October, after which there will be limited capacity to provide first dose vaccinations with our focus shifting to using our resources to provide second dose vaccinations to the community. So STOP, wait…it’s time to vaccinate right now while the jabs are available in Kaikōura!

Our COVID vaccination clinic’s currently run Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We will continue to vaccinate at our current capacity for the next month (end of October) and encourage anyone in the Kaikōura community who is yet to receive their vaccinations to book via Book My Vaccine or call 03 319-3501 to speak with Ari, our Covid-19 Vaccination Administrator who will assist you with booking.

After October there will be limited capacity to provide first dose vaccinations with our focus shifting to using our resources to provide second dose vaccinations to the community.

Right now, the Kaikōura District is New Zealand’s top town for Covid-19 vaccinations. Data supplied by the Ministry of Health shows as of Wednesday (29 Sept), 55 per cent of our population have had both jabs.
