An increasing number of Northlanders are getting Covid vaccinations, with one drive-through clinic recording more than 3000 a day.
Director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield yesterday revealed a positive Covid case in Warkworth, 24km south of the Northland border. Wastewater testing had found traces of Covid-19 and the case explained those results, Bloomfield said.
Nearly 106,000 doses had been administered in Northland as at yesterday morning and with more clinics opening up across the region since an outbreak of the Delta strain last week, people have a choice where they want to be vaccinated.
Northland District Health Board administered 3001 vaccinations on Tuesday at a drive through clinic outside Semenoff Stadium— the highest on any day in the region.
On Monday, <2431 vaccinations were given - the highest number in a day at that stage.
