With the exception of Auckland New Zealand has returned to Alert level 1. We wish to take this opportunity to remind you of what that looks like here at Newlands Medical Centre. Restrictions will remain in place as Covid remains a possibility until a vaccine is developed.
We are pleased to advise that we are now allowed to offer flu immunisations to everyone.
The vaccination is $40 for non-eligible patients.
We are booking about a week ahead to manage both vaccine supplies and physical distancing in our waiting room. However, we do have a special Saturday morning clinic (for adult patients only) this Saturday May 2nd from 9am to 11.45am.
To book your appointment please phone us 478-9858.

Dear patient
APPOINTMENTS
In an effort to help contain the spread of Covid-19 we were instructed yesterday to make changes to how we see patients, and to dramatically reduce the number of patients we see face-to-face.
From Monday 23rd March 2020 we will only be seeing patients in person when it is deemed clinically necessary by one of our doctors or nurses.
Coronavirus update-as at 20 March 2020
As at 1.00pm the Ministry of Health advise that there are 39 cases in NZ and todate all have been linked to overseas travel.
Updates from us:
1. Our reception team will be asking you for the reason for your appointment when you phone to book. This helps us with our preparations to ensure we keep you, other patients, and our team safe. While we appreciate some matters may be sensitive we ask you to please answer their question if you can.
