Kiwis are now able to download their Covid vaccination certificate, called 'My Vaccine Pass'.

Anyone who is fully vaccinated can request a pass by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478. The vaccine pass can be downloaded as an image on your phone, added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, or printed out as a hard copy.

Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has asked people to be patient and request their passes over the next few days, as the website has already seen an overwhelming demand since it was launched this morning.

Passes will not be required to access essential businesses such as schools, supermarkets, or pharmacies, but more details on how they will be implemented are expected to be outlined in the press conference at 1pm today.

What you need to know:

• You can request a vaccine pass at mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478.
• If you don't receive an email with your pass within 24 hours, email the My Covid Record team on help@mycovidrecord.min.health.nz or call 0800 222 478. Check your spam folder first.
• The pass will be required later this year to enter some businesses and venues.
• There are separate passes you can request for domestic use and international travel.

...to nominate a spot in your community needing a splash of colour!

This is the LAST WEEK to make your Resene Colour Your Community nomination so make sure you take a few minutes to share a few words about an organisation, business or community project that needs a bit of a refresh.

Apply now for up to $1000 worth of Resene paints, wood stains and products to spruce up an area in your 'hood.

There'll be five winners announced later this month - plus you'll be invited to vote for the People's Choice Award.

🦁 Hi, I'm Alister & it wasn't that long ago I'd lost my Mojo. This is about how I got it back.
🦁 I enjoyed a successful career in retail banking. I had a great mentor who introduced me to Personal Development - Mojo aplenty. Later I owned a commercial real estate business - success aplenty - I loved my life.
🦁 Adventure called; I sold my business to embark on a 2 year OE based in London. Returning to NZ in my 50s left unfulfilling job options. We bought a small business that sadly went bust. I lost my equity, home, marriage & Mojo & even considered bankruptcy. I KNEW there was an opportunity right for me that would get my Mojo & lifestyle back... so I went looking.
🦁 I now run a successful Online Business Model in the Personal Development & Wealth Creation industries. I am beyond words rewarded by mentoring others looking to get their Mojo back like I was. Visit www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz... to find out if this is a solution to the change you seek.

Hi Neighbours,
As we approach summer we are reminded of the change we are seeing in our New Zealand seasons.

We can all recall the images of the impacts of extreme recent rains in urban Auckland and rural Canterbury. As summer temperatures warm and the season gets longer and longer, the cooling degree day analysis and heatwave days can help you to prepare for such events.

Climate Insights has added two new variables to its Residential Property Climate Risk Report: tropical cyclone and tsunami risk. Information is knowledge. A Climate Insights property report on your residential property also includes tips on what can be done to improve the resilience of your property and householders to emerging weather and climate risks. It only takes minutes to generate a report for any address.
