COVID-19 Vaccination
- Anyone currently eligible can access
Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is an important step you can take to protect yourself, your kaumātua and whānau from the effects of the virus. For more information on the COVID-19 vaccines and eligibility visit Ministry of Health - COVID-19 vaccines
The majority of routine vaccinations can now be administered before, after, or at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccinations. The exception to this is the Zostavax (shingles) vaccine where a 7-day gap before or after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 is advised. If you have any questions, please discuss with your health provider.
Covid-19 testing
Designated GP Practice
We are a designated COVID-19 testing practice. You do not need to be an enrolled patient to get a test.
Please call the practice for more information.
Description
Health Te Aroha started in the late 1990’s. Tertius Coetzer and Paul Henry amalgamated three of the four solo practices in Te Aroha into one practice and named it Health Te Aroha. This practice moved into a purpose built building in 2001 where it has stayed until today.
We currently have 5500 patients and we offer care to the local community, covering the local rest homes, the community trust hospital and also college clinics.
We are a practice that is quality focused and enjoys innovation and being at the forefront of general practice.
The practice has prided itself on performing well in the quality plan with Midlands Health. In 2016 we achieved first place in the PHO for our quality performance.
