Flu And COVID-19 Vaccinations On Offer

People eligible for both the free flu vaccine and their next COVID-19 vaccination, can head along to multiple community pop-up events happening across the Auckland tomorrow (Saturday).

It is safe to get both your flu and COVID-19 vaccination at the same time.

With the eligibility age for free flu vaccinations for Māori and Pacific now reduced, those aged 55 and over are encouraged to come along to get their free flu vaccine at either a pop-up event or at a vaccination centre where it’s available this weekend.
