Following the first mass vaccination event in Manukau, Covid-19 vaccination operations group manager Astrid Koornneef says nothing of similar scale is planned for the South Island. District health boards were offering a range of clinics and events to ensure people could receive their vaccinations easily, she said. Large vaccination clinics are also being held for thousands of residents in Stratford, while plans are being made for a three-day vaccination festival in Wellington in October. South Canterbury remained just ahead of target at 103 per cent, having delivered 29,392 doses - 849 more than planned.
