COVID-19 vaccination invites coming soon for people 65+ in Counties Manukau

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Older Maaori and Pacific people, and those living in their households (aged 16 years and over), and people living in South Auckland aged 65 years and over are being sent invitations to get their COVID-19 vaccination.

Those who are enrolled with a family doctor will receive a text or email inviting them to book a vaccination appointment. If you’re not enrolled with a family doctor, you can find a doctor in your area on Healthpoint: bit.ly...

If you are enrolled, don’t worry if you don’t receive an invitation straight away - these will be sent out in groups so it may take a couple of weeks for an invitation to be sent to all of you.

More info including how to book, what this means for your whaanau, and where to go for more information can be found here on our website: bit.ly...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
