Northland Covid-19 Vaccine Programme Information - check online
Please note that the information printed on page 11 in this week's Whangārei Leader is already out of date. For example, earlier this week eligibility has been extended to people aged 50 years and over.
Accurate and up-to-date vaccine program information can be found on this Northland DHB web page.
In this fluid situation it's best to regularly check the online resources, which are constantly updated, rather than relying on printed information that is already over a week old before it reaches us.
Also, to make it easier for vaccination providers, please let's make good use of the appointment booking options by phone or email, so that vaccine usage can be properly planned and the right number of doses prepared. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine used in NZ requires cold storage and is only good for a few days once thawed and mixed. If we just walk in at random, it makes it so much harder to plan and minimise wastage.

Brighten our day, and show us a glimpse into your world, neighbours.
We'd love to see some of the photos you've taken lately or any craft/DIY projects you're working on.

Updated tsunami evacuation zones
NRC have updated their tsunami evacuation zones and related interactive maps.
There is now just a single evacuation zone, coloured in blue, replacing the earlier red, orange and yellow zones.
The maps have changed considerably. For example, my home was previously in the yellow zone but is now no longer at risk, due to updated data and tsunami wave models.
Let's familiarise ourselves with the revised zones and maps, and update our emergency plans accordingly.

THERE'S STILL TOMORROW.
Italy, subtitles, 2023, Dramatic comedy
Delia lives in Rome in the late 1940s in a working-class community which is slowly but surely rebuilding itself after the war. She shares a small flat with her domineering husband, their three children and her sick father-in-law.
Delia resolutely deals with the daily challenges of family life and has a best friend with whom she shares moments of levity. Delia’s dream though is for her daughter, Marcella to one day have a better life than she does. Delia is resigned to her fate - the good with the bad - until one day a mysterious letter arrives.
"An inspiring story that delights in small victories and the dream of female empowerment." - Screen International
