RE: Henderson Vaccination Centre

Fiona from Henderson

Just to let you all know about the changes/closure of Henderson Vaccination centre.
I had heard and read bits and pieces about people being turned away from the Henderson Vaccination Centre, even though they had an appointment.
So I thought that I would call the Covid Healthline to confirm our appointments for tomorrow.
Just as well I did, as the centre is closed until approximately mid September (maybe later), so all the staff can be used to help out at the over worked testing station across the road.
We had booked both of our appointments (as suggested) so both of them had to be changed. The wonderful lady who helped me on the phone, managed to find us a space at the beginning of September otherwise, we would have to been deferred to the beginning of October.
My point is, please ring to confirm and not turn up and be turned away - saves alot of time and disappointment.
Another reason for the massive delays in getting news dates/times are that all the 12+ year olds are being booked in by their parents, even though the 40+ haven't received their invitation letters yet (as per the person I spoke to today and the hotline)
That little bit niggled me, especially as so many elderly people haven't had their vaccines yet - so many.
Before anyone jumps down my throat, I fully understand we all need to be vaccinated, however the elderly need to be at the front of the line, not pushed down the line.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
