Stay protected against Covid-19

Brian from Mount Roskill

Winter has arrived and we are seeing a significant increase in winter illnesses across our communities.
Being up to date with your vaccinations remains one of the best things you can do to protect yourself from serious illness or being admitted to hospital due to covid.
If you’re over the age of 65, taking care of yourself and your immune system is important.
You can have the covid vaccine if it has been six months since your last vaccination or positive test.
Book your free vaccination
======================
To get your covid vaccine, talk to your family doctor, nurse or visit a local pharmacy. You can also book online through Book My Vaccine
If you would like more information, you can:
===================================
• visit healthpoint.co.nz to find a pharmacy or provider near you
• call Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 8:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (except public holidays). Calls are free and you can opt to speak with a Māori clinician. Interpreters are also available.

When you get your covid vaccine, check with your healthcare provider if you are due for any other vaccines including flu and whooping cough / tetanus. It's safe to have the covid vaccine at the same time as most other immunisations.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
