Protect Yourself & Others from COVID-19

Covid boosters available instore NOW!

NEW 2024 Booster available from Thursday 7 March

Anyone over 30 is eligible for a booster if it has been 6 months since your last dose or 6 months since you have had COVID.

For people who are up to date with COVID-19 boosters, those who are most likely to benefit from another dose :

• Anyone aged 65 and older

• Māori and Pacific people aged 55 and older

• People aged 16 and older who are severely immunocompromised

• People aged 30 to 74 with significant complex health needs that increase the risk of frailty (e.g. those living in residential care and those with long term medical conditions)

What are the symptoms of COVID-19? 

The symptoms of COVID-19 are: 

• a dry cough

• a high temperature (at least 38°C)

• shortness of breath

These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have COVID-19. The symptoms are similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu. 

What can I do to stop COVID-19 spreading? 

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow or by covering your mouth and nose with tissues. 

• Put used tissues in the bin or a bag immediately. 

• Wash your hands with soap and water often (for at least 20 seconds). 

• Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell. 

• Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean. 

• Avoid personal contact, such as kissing, sharing cups or food with sick people. 

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs. 

• Stay at home. 

What if I think I have symptoms of COVID-19? 

We know from other outbreaks that self-isolation is effective, and most people are good at keeping themselves – and others – safe and well.

Access to Medication

There is currently no need to panic about the supply of prescription medication in New Zealand so there is no need to bulk buy. However, we do recommend that you don’t allow your regular and essential prescription medications to almost run out before you organise a new prescription.
