Hawke’s Bay DHB, along with regional leaders, is calling on the community to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as part
Super Saturday on 16 October.
Super Saturday is a nationwide day of action for COVID-19 vaccination to encourage everyone eligible and not yet
vaccinated to join the millions of people in New Zealand already vaccinated.
Chief executive Keriana Brooking said Hawke’s Bay was likely to hit 80 percent of the eligible population having had
their first dose this week , but thousands more vaccinations were needed.
“Summer is just eight weeks away. Super Saturday is a great opportunity for us to vaccinate as many people as possible
so we can all enjoy more freedom this summer.”
Mrs Brooking said there will be nearly 30 vaccination clinics open across Hawke’s Bay on Saturday 16 October and goBay
buses would be free.
“The Super Saturday clinics will make it super easy to get vaccinated. Either get your first dose, or if it has been
over three weeks since your first dose, get your second.
“The community and the councils have really got behind the event and there are lots of fun activities and giveaways
planned for the various clinics,” she said.
Mrs Brooking said even those fully vaccinated can help boost vaccination rates in Hawke’s Bay further.
“If you are one of the many people who have already had the vaccine, well done. We still need your help - reach out to
friends, whānau, and colleagues who are hesitant about getting vaccinated, or haven’t done so yet, and encourage them to
protect themselves and our community.”
She said people can do this by spreading the word about Super Saturday, talking to people about why they got the vaccine
and sharing accurate and reliable information, particularly as some misleading information was circulating.
“COVID-19 vaccines are the most well-studied vaccines ever made,” she said. “Nearly 50 percent of the world's population
has had a COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 3 million people in Aotearoa have had their first Pfizer vaccine. This means
we have lots of data to show the vaccine has been thoroughly assessed for safety.”
In addition to the Super Saturday clinics, there are a number of regular weekly clinics and pop-up marae and
church-based clinics. Information is available at hbcovidvaccine.nz.
