Covid-19: Christchurch's new drive-in vaccination centre opens
Christchurch has debuted its first drive-in Covid-19 vaccination clinic – but only pre-booked essential workers and their families can go.
New Zealand’s vaccination roll-out was temporarily halted after the delta strain of the virus was detected in Auckland early this week , and the country entered an alert level 4 lockdown. It has since resumed.
On Sunday, the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) opened a drive-through vaccination clinic in the Christchurch Arena car park.
