Auckland mayor Phil Goff is urging super-city residents to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible as appointments are no longer required at community vaccination centres.

“It’s great Aucklanders can now get vaccinated at a community vaccination site without having to make a booking,” he says.

“This will remove barriers for Aucklanders who may struggle to use the vaccination booking website, whether because of limited access to technology or difficulty booking in a large family.”

Goff says people can now show up to a Covid-19 vaccination community site and they shouldn’t wait to do so.

“Almost 27,000 people received a vaccine dose in Auckland on September 14 and we want everyone in the city to get their first dose by the end of this week, so let’s keep up the momentum and keep everybody safe.

“Please also remember to get tested if you have [Covid] symptoms or if you have no symptoms but are invited to be tested, especially if you live in and around Mt Eden, Massey, Favona, Otara, Papatoetoe, Mangere and Manurewa.”
