"The organisation has stood up in an amazing way in the past 12months.”
Dunedin's Te Kāika Health Centre was in the forefront, delivering 1409 vaccinations on August 22, the highest doses provided in one day at one place at the time.
Southern supplied more than 49,000 vaccinations in a single week during the peak of the vaccine push in August, and the district was home to a quarter of all clinicians in the country engaging in the programme.
