    Covid-19 vaccinations are rolling out at breakneck speed in Canterbury

    Covid-19 vaccinations are rolling out at breakneck speed in Canterbury


    Canterbury District Health Board nearly doubled its vaccination capacity last week - with almost 20-thousand doses administered.

    That compares to the 10-thousand rolled out the week before.

    The CDHB will add another four-thousand doses this week to reach its milestone of 150-thousand vaccines

    The ramping up of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout is seeing Christchurch clinics extend their hours to 10pm.
