The Diocesan Pensions Committee support Clergy health and welfare by ensuring that cost is not a barrier to accessing flu vaccinations....

Flu vaccinations and the latest Covid-19 (Pfizer JN.1 monovalent ) vaccine are now available.

Anyone aged 30 and over, and people at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, can receive an additional COVID-19 vaccine.

Bookings for both vaccinations are now available - click here for more information on eligibility and booking.

Getting a flu jab each year is the best way to stop flu from spreading.  

Around 4 out of 5 people with flu have no symptoms and do not know they can be spreading the virus to other people.

Being vaccinated reduces the risk of accidentally passing the flu to your whānau, friends, and your community.

The flu can be serious and make people very unwell. It affects the whole body and can last up to a week or more.  

Those over 65 years of age and those with some underlying health conditions are eligible for a free flu jab - check your eligibility here.

If you are not eligible for a free flu vaccination, the Pensions Committee offers reimbursement to individual Clergy for this cost (to a maximum of $45), on proof of a receipt.

Please email your receipt and bank account details by 30 June 2025 to bishops.pa@calledsouth.org.nz
