The Pasifika Super Saturday Community Vaccination Event is only two days away and anticipation is building in the Christchurch location as they prepare to host Pacific families at Te Aratai College (formerly known as Linwood College) located on the east side of the city.

One of the key locations for The Pasifika Super Saturday Community Vaccination Event happening this Saturday on the 6th of August is the rural township of Ashburton. Located just over an hour outside of Christchurch, the families in Ashburton are part of a growing rural community so it is important that they have the same level of access to vaccinations to ensure their families stay safe and protected over this winter period.
