The PHA firmly supports the drive to get as many people as possible in Aotearoa New Zealand fully vaccinated 

We need two things to protect ourselves, our whānau and our communities in this outbreak and in the future:

FIRST we need as many people as possible to have their first dose to be partially protected;

SECONDLY we need all those people to be fully vaccinated with two doses as soon as possible.

It’s never been more urgent – Summer is just eight weeks away, book your first vaccine appointment now to get two doses before Summer starts to be able to take advantage of everything that a Kiwi summer offers.

To all involved in the Super Saturday drive for vaccination,

THANKYOU!

Spotlight on: Pandemic Supplement to the Integrated Planning Guide 

(Health in all policies, CDHB Community and Public Health Team Te Mana Ora )

The response to COVID-19 reinforces how policies and actions outside of the health sector can protect wellbeing and foster resilience. Three key priorities need to be taken into account while planning the recovery from this pandemic:

• health and equity;
• addressing climate sustainability; and
• incorporating wider social goals.
