COVID-19 Vaccine - Group 3 text notifications
In recent days, we’ve been working with medical practices and primary health organisations to send text messages, emails and letters to people in our region, letting them know they are in Group 3 for the vaccine rollout and will receive an invitation to book by the end of July.
To work out who is in Group 3, we used the medical records held by your GP.
Group 3 is very broad – around 200,000 people in Wellington, Porirua, the Hutt Valley and the Kāpiti Coast. Some of you may not have realised you are eligible in Group 3. If you got a text, you’ll be invited to book soon, and we urge you to take up the opportunity.
If you are in Group 3 but haven’t received a notification, we will provide information about how you can register later this month, and you will still be able to be vaccinated before the Group 4 (general population) rollout.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
