West Coast DHB will be expanding the roll-out of its COVID-19 vaccination programme across the Coast shortly, says Ralph La Salle, Acting Executive Director Planning, Funding and Decision Support, West Coast DHB.
We are currently getting ready to vaccinate Aged Residential Care residents and staff, some wider West Coast stakeholder partners and the wider public. We are also preparing to establish our mobile vaccination clinics which will be visiting our more rural communities over the coming months as planning and available resources allow.
In consideration of the rural nature of the Coast, our COVID-19 vaccine roll-out plan is based on optimising the number of people vaccinated, not the number of vaccination clinics. This means that when we set-up our clinics in smaller townships, we will be offering appointments to the wider public.
