Need to get your booster or flu jab? Call in at the pharmacy.
A COVID booster is recommended for people at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. If you are eligible, you should get it at least 6 months after your last booster.
It is recommended the following people receive a second booster as a priority:
• people aged 65 and over
• Māori and Pacific peoples aged 50 and over
• residents of aged care and disability care facilities
• severely immunocompromised people who received a 3-dose primary course and a fourth dose as a first booster (this would be a fifth dose for these people)
• people aged 16 and over who live with disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities
• people aged 16 and over who have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe breakthrough COVID-19 illness.
You can book an appointment for a booster dose through Book My Vaccine, or by calling the COVID Vaccination Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 (8am to 8pm, 7 days a week).
