Covid-19: First Auckland aged care residents get coronavirus vaccine

Residents of a south Auckland rest home have become the first aged care residents in the region to receive their Covid-19 jab.
Thirty-eight residents and staff at Kenderdine Park Rest Home in Papatoetoe were vaccinated on Friday, on the first day of the region’s aged residential care outreach programme.
Matt Hannant, vaccination programme lead for the Northern Region Health Coordination Centre (NRHCC), said it was “delighted” to have started the “important” phase of its vaccination programme, which will see some of Auckland's most vulnerable communities protected from Covid-19.
