Covid-19: Christchurch's new drive-in vaccination centre opens

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch has debuted its first drive-in Covid-19 vaccination clinic – but only pre-booked essential workers and their families can go.

CDHB Covid-19 vaccination events lead Satish Mistry said all drive-through vaccinations were strictly by appointment only, so the team could focus on getting essential workers vaccinated.
