Preparations underway for rollout of COVID-19 vaccine
Plans are underway for the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine across the Whanganui, Rangitikei, and south Ruapehu districts.
A planning and implementation group representing Whanganui Regional Health Network; Whanganui District Health Board; Hauora ā Iwi, the DHB’s iwi partnership body; the National Hauora Coalition; and Māori health service providers has been formed and is working on finalising arrangements.

COVID-19 Alert Levels Update
New Zealand is currently at Alert Level 1.
With a number of new cases of covid-19 in the community (Te Tai Tokerau & Tamaki), it’s the perfect time for us to remember to be vigilant and not complacent. Covid-19 is still very much alive and this new case is a reminder of that.
Let’s continue to work together to keep our whānau and community safe from covid-19 by following the health guidelines as set by the government.
-
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly and often. This is still very important for our general health and wellbeing.
-
If you are unwell, STAY HOME! If you believe you have covid-19 symptoms, get a test or contact Healthline who will advise you on the next steps. If you have a covid-19 test, you must self-isolate until you receive your test results.
-
Use your covid-tracer app everywhere you go! Even here at mahi. The government is also recommending that the Bluetooth setting within the covid-tracer app be turned on. This is an extra safety component to the app – we are still required to scan, scan, scan!
If we all do our part, we will be sure to help towards keeping ourselves, whānau, and the community safer.
