Get ready for Omicron
With Omicron in the community, it’s important to be as prepared and protected as possible. That’s why boosters are now available 3 months after your second dose from today. If you’re 18 or older and it’s been 3 months or more since your second dose, get your booster as soon as possible. The tamariki in your whānau aged 5–11 can also now get immunised. Find a vaccination centre near you at BookMyVaccine.nz
Plan in case you test positive
If you test positive for COVID-19, your whole household will need to isolate. When self-isolating, food and other necessities may need to be delivered. Organise a buddy outside your household (like a neighbour or friend) to keep in touch with, drop off supplies, or help with daily tasks. Check what support is available
If you need help when you’re isolating at home, you can call the COVID-19 support phone line on 0800 512 337, 7 days a week. There is support available for: • access to food and essential items • support with mental health • financial support • talking with your employer if you’re worried about taking time off work. In case of emergency
While many people will be able to recover safely at home, if you need advice or your symptoms get worse, call your doctor, health provider or Healthline on 0800 358 5453. If you are having trouble breathing, call 111 immediately.
