Fleet of vax vans for Tāmaki Makaurau
Northern Region Health Coordination Centre yesterday delivered 11 “vaxi vans” to Māori, Pacific and primary care providers as they step up the vaccination drive.
Vaccination programme director Matt Hannant says up to 44 campervans are set to be operating across Tāmaki Makaurau in the coming weeks.
They have been fully kitted out with the cold storage required for the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as chairs and other equipment needed to quickly set up vaccinations on roadsides.
The first vans went to South Auckland providers Huakina Trust, Turuki Healthcare and South Seas Healthcare.
Another is headed for Wellsford for the use by the Hauora Trust’s Coast to Coast Healthcare to get to isolated rural communities.
