Covid-19 vaccinations ramping up again after level 4 confusion
Covid-19 vaccination centres are busy again after some initial confusion in the wake of this week’s alert level 4 announcement.
But resources for the vaccination roll-out are being diverted to test for the virus, prompting experts to warn of staff burnout.
A pop-up drive-in vaccine service opened at Dunedin’s Te Kāika medical service on Friday.
A long line of vehicles snaked around the parking lot on Friday morning.
The service would operate from the Edgar Centre parking lot for the duration of alert levels 3 and 4 to ensure the safety of staff and the wider community.
“It’s essential that our community stays safe and our drive-in services are one of the best ways of maintaining important social distance,’’ Te Kāika chief executive Albie Laurence said.
