The Whanganui DHB is preparing for a bump in Covid-19 vaccinations, as those vaccinated during the level 4 blitz approach their second-dose appointments.
The Chronicle was at the DHB's main vaccination facility Te Rito on Friday, where a number of Whanganui residents had taken up the offer of a walk-in vaccination.
Kantar Sharma, Te Rito's clinical nurse manager, said they had been busy over previous days.
"We went up at the start of lockdown, went down for a few weeks and now we're on the up again as people come in for their second jab and for some, their first."
