Covid update - Thursday
30th June 2022
COVID UPDATE - 11.40am, Thursday June 30A big chapter in our fight against Covid will come to an end today when the mass vaccination hub at Belmont closes its doors for (hopefully!) the last time. The hub was an important part in our fight against Covid and at its peak was vaccinating about 3000 people a day. So, a special thanks goes out today to all the nurses, doctors and HNE Health staff who ran it like a well-oiled machine in extremely difficult circumstances. You’ve served us well!
