Super Shot Saturday Vaccination Day - 16th October
Help us get our local community fully vaccinated.
Tawa Rotary is working with the Tawa Medical Centre and local MP Greg O'Conner to help promote the upcoming vaccination day.
Hopefully most people reading this are already vaccinated so the message is really for people to have a conservation with their family and friends to breakdown any remaining hesitation and get the job completed.
The vaccine clinic at the Tawa Medical Centre Linden Surgery, 49 Hinau Street, Linden, continues to have space available. And on "Super Saturday Vaccination Day" on 16th October, they will be open for walk-ins between 10am and midday. Else give then a call to make a booking for during the week - 04-232 7193.
Other nearby vaccination centres that will be open for the "Super Saturday Vaccination Day" include Johnsonville Shopping Centre (next to Nada Bakery), and at the Waitangirua Vaccination Center, Maraeroa Marae, 216 Warspite Avenue, Waitangirua, Porirua (9am to 1pm).
We can also offer transport to a vaccination centre if required.

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.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
