Press Release – Northern Region Health Coordination Centre
“Love thy neighbour and get vaccinated” was the catch cry as Auckland’s second Pasifika-led community vaccination centre opened at Westgate Mall today, Wednesday 12 May.
The new centre is being led by The Fono Trust Pacific health provider in partnership with the Pacific Collective. At capacity it will be vaccinating up to 300 people per day by appointment and through community outreach.
The first to be vaccinated on site today were local church leaders, who were keen to lead the way and show their congregations how safe and straight forward the process is.
Reverend Superintendent of the Samoan Methodist Northern Auckland Synod, Le Afioga le Sea – Reverend Taumafai Komiti opened the launch event reminding people about the importance of protecting their families and communities: “We are reminded to love thy neighbour and get vaccinated,” he proclaimed to much applause from the dozens of gathered dignitaries.

Walk-in vaccinations are being paused at two Auckland COVID-19 vaccination centres from today.
The sites at Mt Wellington and Highbrook have seen high demand for walk-in vaccinations since they began trialling the model from the middle of last week.
However, with both sites reaching capacity and increasing concerns about traffic flow and lengthy queues, the Northern Region Health Coordination Centre, which is managing the vaccination rollout on behalf of the northern region DHBs, has decided to halt the trial.
“Walk-in demand has been high at these sites and that’s not a bad problem to have. But we want people to have the best experience possible so we’re going to take a moment to reflect on the last week and assess what changes may need to be made before allowing walk-ins back at those sites,” said Matt Hannant, NRHCC Vaccination Programme Lead.
Matt Hannant, the director of Auckland s COVID-19 vaccine programme, said the DHB wants people to have the best experience possible. We re going to take a moment to reflect on the last week and assess what changes may need to be made before allowing walk-ins back at those sites. We acknowledge that there have been some issues around queues and traffic congestion at these sites and we do apologise to anyone who has had issues being vaccinated over the last week.
Hannant said it was taking learnings from the operations on a daily basis. We want this to be an easy process for people and our teams are working incredibly hard to try to make this happen.
