COVID-19 Vaccines

Ages 5yrs and above are eligible for the COVID vaccine. Most children aged 5-11 can have two paediatric doses of the Pfizer vaccine 8 weeks apart. Some severely immunocompromised children may be eligible for a third paediatric dose. They are not eligible for a booster.

Only ages 16yrs and above can have a booster. (16 and 17 year old’s can have their booster 6 months after completing their primary course). 

Reminder: If you have contracted the COVID virus, there is a 6 month stand down period until you are able to receive a COVID vaccine.

Second COVID-19 boosters

Second boosters for those at risk of severe illness from COVID-19

A second booster is recommended for those at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 – a minimum of 6 months after a first booster.

For those who are not considered at risk of severe illness from COVID-19, a two-dose primary course and a booster dose provides very good protection against severe illness from COVID-19.

The following people are recommended to receive a second booster as a priority:

  • people aged 65 years and over
    Maori and Pacific peoples aged 50 years and over
  • residents of aged care and disability care facilities
  • severely immunocompromised people who received a three-dose primary course and a fourth dose as a first booster (noting this would be a fifth dose for these people)
  • people aged 16 years and over who have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe breakthrough COVID-19 illness and 
    people aged 16 years and over who live with disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities.

 

In addition, a second booster is available for:

  • all people aged over 50 years
  • health, aged care and disability workers aged over 30 years.

I enjoy engaging with whānau and building therapeutic relationships. I am passionate about nursing and have a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of our whānau, iwi, hapū, and hāpori. It makes it even more special to be able to work in a town where I am from and I have the ability to support whānau of my own.
