Covid-19 vaccinations ramping up again after level 4 confusion

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
