The country’s first mass Covid-19 vaccination event will be held in south Auckland at the end of the month.
On Wednesday, Covid-19 Response Health Minister Chris Hipkins announced the event will be held at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau, over the weekend of Friday, July 30 to Sunday, August 1.
More than 15,000 people are set to be vaccinated over those three days, Hipkins said. Another mass vaccination event will be held six weeks later for second doses.
It comes after a mass vaccination event at the centre planned earlier this month was postponed due to tight supply of the vaccine.
