Make time to get your Covid-19 Vaccination Booster!
Big Boost week
14 February 2022
February is a critical month in our fight against Omicron, which is why this month the Ministry of Health is asking New Zealanders to get their boosters as soon as they are due – as part of The Big Boost.
With Omicron in the community, getting a Covid-19 booster is the best thing you can do to protect your people, customers, and community. While two shots were great protection against Delta, you need a booster for Omicron.
During February, if everyone who can get boosted, does, we will help slow the spread of the virus and ensure more of us stay well. And that frees up our hospitals for people who need care.
Boosters are key to keeping our people safe and our economy strong – helping minimise disruption for our businesses and customers.
Who can have a booster?
Anyone who is 18 years and over and had their second dose at least 3 months ago is due for their booster.
You can check when you are due for a booster by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or calling the Covid Vaccination Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 (8am – 8pm, 7 days a week).

*Note: While we are vaccinating 5-11-year olds as well as people 12 years and over, we recommend that bookings are made so that people are not kept waiting. Drop-ins are limited due to the additional time it takes to vaccinate children as fewer people can be vaccinated at each clinic. You can book online at www.BookMyVaccine.nz or call 0800 28 29 26.
