The small health service that opened one of NZ's biggest Covid vaccine centres
Freezing worker knowledge has helped create one of the busiest vaccine clinics in the country.
“We have a lot of Māori whānau that are used to production lines, and so we got together and set-it up overnight,” Te Kāika chief executive Albie Laurence said.
The charitable entity, which operates a health clinic in the Dunedin suburb of Caversham, started to think big as the country entered a second nationwide lockdown last week.
Te Kāika, which is half owned by Ngāi Tahu, had previously operated vaccine clinics in Dunedin and several small areas around the south, including Oamaru, Alexandra, Milton and Stewart Island.
It gave out 10,000 doses over two months, but that was nothing compared to their pop-up drive-in clinic at Dunedin’s Edgar Centre, which was now averaging more than 1100 doses a day. Read more here.
