COVID-19 vaccine

Getting the Covid-19 vaccine is one of the main ways that you can protect your health and wellbeing.

How does it work

All vaccines prevent disease by working with your body’s natural defence systems. It does this by activating your immune system and producing antibodies against the virus. As a result, being vaccinated against Covid-19 means your body is ready to fight the virus if you become exposed to it.

Safety

The good news is, all Covid-19 vaccines used in New Zealand have been through rigorous testing and are approved by Medsafe. They must meet strict standards for quality, safety, and efficacy. Moreover, dosage has been carefully checked for children, so you can be confident about all of the family getting immunised. Read more about Covid-19 vaccine safety.

Potential side effects

Evidently, the most common side effects are pain at the injection site, a headache or feeling tired. However, muscle aches, joint pain, fever and nausea can also occur. Be assured, these side effects are usually mild and do not last long. The side effects actually show that the vaccine is working by activating your immune system. It does not prevent you from having the second dose. Serious allergic reactions do occur but are extremely rare. Of course, our vaccinators are trained to manage these.

What happens after my vaccine

Following your Covid-19 vaccination, you will be asked to wait for 15 minutes afterward. This is a standard precaution so our team can check you do not have a serious allergic reaction. 

Book your vaccination

Now that a National booking system has been set up, kiwi’s can schedule vaccinations on the official system.
