COVID-19 Vaccination

Please call us if you want to come in and get your vaccine.  Walk ins may not be available every day.

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.

Appointments can be made via the Ministry's dedicated website BookMyVaccine.co.nz

Your medicine price may vary depending on the subsidy price negotiated by Pharmac.

A co-payment is incurred when you present a prescription - it may be $5, or $15 depending on the prescriber or Medical Practice.

A premium may be charged if the prescribed medicine is not fully subsidised. For medicines which are not included in the Pharmaceutical Schedule, you will be expected to pay the full cost of the medicine.

Additional charges may be incurred by the use of phone/fax for your prescription, reports printed, deliveries, compliance packaging, special procure or emergency supplies of medicine.  To avoid these charges please ask a staff member.
