Queenstown Airport is holding a drive-through vaccination clinic today and tomorrow, primarily aimed at those who had received compromised jabs.
On Monday, the Southern District Health Board revealed vaccines administered by Queenstown provider Engage Safety between December 1 and January 28 may not have provided any protection from Covid due to an issue with the ultra-cold temperatures at which the vaccine has to be stored.
In total, 1571 people — primarily Queenstown residents — have been affected.
Those vaccines were administered at a variety of locations, including at a pop-up booster clinic held at Queenstown Airport in December.
Health board staff are notifying people who had received the compromised vaccine — anyone with concerns could have a fully funded GP consultation.
The airport is holding a pop-up drive-through vaccine clinic at its Brookes Rd car park — formerly the park-and-ride — behind Mitre 10 in Queenstown.
The clinic is open to all eligible age groups in the wider community for first, second and booster shots.
Those affected by the December pop-up clinic vaccines will be given access to a priority lane after they advise staff they need a replacement vaccine.
The clinic will run from 11am-7pm both days.
