Covid-19 vaccinations ramping up again after level 4 confusion
Covid-19 vaccination centres are busy again after some initial confusion in the wake of this week’s alert level 4 announcement.
But resources for the vaccination roll-out are being diverted to test for the virus, prompting experts to warn of staff burnout.
A pop-up drive-in vaccine service opened at Dunedin’s Te Kāika medical service on Friday.
A long line of vehicles snaked around the parking lot on Friday morning.
The service would operate from the Edgar Centre parking lot for the duration of alert levels 3 and 4 to ensure the safety of staff and the wider community.
“It’s essential that our community stays safe and our drive-in services are one of the best ways of maintaining important social distance,’’ Te Kāika chief executive Albie Laurence said.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
36.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
63.2% No, I enjoy it
-
0.6% Other - I'll share below
