Wellingtonians struggle to book vaccines using new 0800 number

From Midday Report, 12:15 pm on 23 July 2021

Many in Wellington were left with more questions than answers this morning when they called a new national 0800 number to book their long-awaited vaccinations - only to be told they had to go to their own District Health Board.

A new telephone booking service launched this morning for people who qualify for a Covid-19 vaccination, but still haven't received an invitation.

But RNZ listeners got in touch to say they were not been able to book in when they called the hotline.
