The little town of 900 is the first in New Zealand to have the shots on offer to the general public. Reefton board member Susan Barnett said she thought people were looking forward to it. Comments on social media this morning revealed some confusion over the Reefton rollout, with some people unaware it would be available to people other than health workers. Registration forms are available in the Clarion newsletter, at shops, the council office and Reefton Information Centre.
