A vaccination station is open at Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga for cars of whānau and kaumātua to receive a drive-thru Covid-19 jab.
Te Taiwhenua spokeswoman Tertia Whitcombe said they had received about 400 bookings on their first day of opening the drive-thru on Friday.
"We have been doing vaccination clinics anyway, every Friday for our whānau and kaumātua, but we thought we would be more likely to get Māori whānau here if we made it easier for them to all come together," she said.
"We aim to vaccinate as many people as possible. In our carpark we have the capacity to hold a lot of people and with the support of the DHB we can provide vaccinations for those 400 bookings," she said.
