Vaccination confirmation

The Ministry of Health has a process for people travelling overseas to request a letter confirming they had a COVID-19 vaccination. The Ministry is prioritising requests based on the date of travel and has updated its website to reflect the process. Please note that a GP document may be insufficient proof of vaccination for some countries.

If a person would like written confirmation of their vaccination for a reason other than overseas travel, the simplest approach is to give them a copy of the vaccination notification sent from the COVID-19 Immunisation Register (CIR) to the practice’s patient management system.

GPs could also direct the person to download their vaccination confirmation via the practice’s patient portal, if that is available to them.

Please visit the MOH website for more information.

We are now contacting people in Group 3 to invite them to make appointments for their Covid vaccination. For more information on Group 3 please go to the Covid 19 website. You will receive a phone call from us soon.

Kia ora Karori whānau!

We are so glad to have so many of you asking us when you can get your vaccine – so we thought we’d provide a quick update for everyone! We are excited to announce we are getting started on our vaccination campaign. We’ll be starting with our most at risk patients (our over 75’s or over 55’s in our Māori and Pasifika whānau) from this week.  The best part..

WE WILL CONTACT YOU!

So – if you fit into the groups above – sit back, relax and await a phone call from one of our friendly KMC staff members.

If you don’t fit into the groups above then hang in there and keep your eyes peeled on our Facebook and website for more updates 👀

While we get started on the mahi, here are some awesome stats on the progress of the vaccination campaign so far.
