Weekly column by Kāpiti's Greater Wellington Regional Council representative Penny Gaylor.
Thank you to those who participated in last weekend's Super Saturday, whether as a person receiving their first or second vaccination, or one of the multitude of amazing health workers, or Māori Wardens, or even our public transport staff who assisted as part of the team to help get people to vaccination centres.
GWRC and Metlink got on board with the Super Saturday movement to provide free public transport to a vaccination location.
Metlink has been offering free travel on buses and trains to anyone getting their Covid-19 vaccination since September 20 as part of a co-ordinated effort to boost attendance at vaccination centres and events across the region. Free travel to a free vaccination.
The free return trip on Metlink bus and train services will be available to all passengers travelling on the day of their vaccination appointment who can show their booking confirmation and date, either on paper or on their devices.
