The Canterbury District Health Board has six clinics in the district, at medical centres in Leeston, Rolleston, Lincoln, West Melton, and a pharmacy in Rolleston. The Rolleston Filipino Pop-up Vaccination Clinic is an initiative of Pinoy CARES Canterbury, a non-profit organisation promoting Filipino culture and values. Rolleston Medical Centre practice manager Vicki Bool welcomed the initiative to hold the pop-up clinic, as medical centres in the district work hard to meet demand. Unlike some medical centres, it had opened up its bookings to everyone, not only enrolled patients.
