The Rotorua Covid-19 Immunisation Hub will re-open tomorrow.

It will be open from 9am to 4pm to help meet the high demand for booster shots as well as deliver first and second doses.

It comes after the Rotorua Daily Post today reported the city's two main vaccination centres were closed over the holidays to give staff a break.

Two chemists had been operating in Rotorua for vaccinations before a third joined them today.

The Rotorua Vaccination Centre was due to be closed until January 5.

Lakes DHB chief executive Nick Saville-Wood said the decision to reopen early was made after pharmacies were experiencing a high volume of people who wanted to be vaccinated, mainly for their booster.

From January 5, people aged 18 and over will be eligible to get a booster four months after their second dose.

Saville-Wood thanked DHB and Korowai Aroha nurses and Western Heights Health Centre staff who had been brought in at short notice to enable the reopening.

The DHB is assessing available staff resources to determine if the hub can open on Monday and Tuesday. It will resume normal opening hours on Wednesday.

To make an appointment go to bookmyvaccine.co.nz or healthpoint.co.nz to find the nearest vaccination centre to you.
