Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

​A pop-up clinic in Hawke’s Bay will encourage Māori and Pasifika whānau to get a flu immunisation, with the option of a Covid-19 test.

​A pop-up clinic in Hawke’s Bay will encourage Māori and Pasifika whānau to get a flu immunisation, with the option of a Covid-19 test.

The clinic will be located at King’s Church in Meeanee on Saturday, 29 August, from 10am to 2pm.

Updates will be posted on Hawke’s Bay DHB’s Facebook page if wait times are longer than expected or supplies run out sooner than anticipated.

Hawke’s Bay District Health Board medical officer of health Dr Nick Jones, said the DHB had arranged the pop-up clinic to remove barriers to immunisation for Māori and Pasifika communities.

“In line with the push underway nationally to increase immunisation uptake among Māori and Pasifika communities, we are really encouraging whānau to come along, get a flu shot and at the same time take the opportunity to be swabbed for Covid-19 because we know these communities have been the most affected by Auckland’s outbreak,” Jones said.

Meanwhile, free Covid-19 testing centres remain open throughout the region, operating in Napier, Hastings, Wairoa and Central Hawke’s Bay.

“We strongly encourage people displaying cold or flu symptoms to call one of the testing centres below, or their GP, to be triaged for testing, which is free,” Dr Jones said.

* Napier: 06 650 4000 open 9am-5pm Mon-Sun.
* Hastings: 06 281 2644 open 8am-8pm Mon-Sun.
* Wairoa: 06 838 8333 open 8.30am-5pm Mon-Fri.
*Central Hawke’s Bay residents need to be referred by their doctor or phone
Healthline on: 0800 358 5453.

This will take the direction of the Eskdale Park away from being the beautiful peaceful country park it is currently and away from the original intention of the park. There has been a lot of support from the community to keep Eskdale Park as a natural reserve. Now is the time for us to show this support to the council.

HDC is holding a public meeting on Wednesday, Sept 9th from 6 pm until 8 pm at the Hukarere Girls College located at 17 Shaw Road, Eskdale.

Please come and show your support for keeping Eskdale Park as a undeveloped reserve. It is vital that we make it clear to the council that we want the park left as a safe green family friendly park. The park has such a rich history and is loved by so many people. It is worth protecting and keeping safe for future generations to enjoy.

I can help organize carpools or rides if people wish. Please reach out to me if you need a ride or would like to carpool or if you would like to help in any way. Together we will protect the Eskdale Park.

There is also an online petition you can sign to keep Eskdale Park as an undeveloped reserve. Here is the link for the petition if you would like to sign it. Thank you!

With unseasonably warm and windy conditions this weekend, Fire and Emergency New Zealand is asking Hawke’s Bay farmers to think twice before undertaking burn-offs.

Principal Rural Fire Officer Trevor Mitchell says with temperatures expected to get close to 20 degrees, anyone planning on lighting a fire needs to be cautious.

"Anywhere where dry grass is present has an escalated fire risk. This can cause a fire to quickly spread and cause unnecessary callouts."

If anyone in the community sees a fire that looks like it is getting out of control, don’t hesitate to call 111.
