COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT: 15th October 2021

Tomorrow is Super Saturday - a nationwide drive to increase our vaccination rate across Aotearoa New Zealand. 

SAE Auckland encourages you to get involved. If you have not as yet been vaccinated, please make the most of Super Saturday. And if you have been vaccinated, support others to get their shot. The best chance we have of Auckland moving down Alert Levels, and our SAE Auckland campus being able to fully open again, is by having high vaccination rates. 

There are multiple events happening tomorrow, from mobile vaccination buses to celebrities making appearances at vaccination sites throughout the day. There are pop-up events across the city – even Air New Zealand has transformed one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets into a vaccine clinic. Or you can tune into the Vaxathon from midday.

So, if you’ve been waiting to book in for your COVID vaccination, now’s the time. You can find details of Super Saturday events at vaccinateforauckland.nz

If you are hesitant or have any questions about being vaccinated, check out the resources from the Ministry of Health, or jump onto one of their ‘live chat’ sessions with a medical expert. 

Once we are back on campus, the more staff and students we have that are fully vaccinated, the safer SAE will be. 

And, as the #vaxforlive campaign reminds us, high vaccination rates are also critical for our creative industries. 

So, for yourself, your whānau, for our SAE community, for our industry, please make the most of Super Saturday - get vaccinated and support others to get vaccinated too.

Arohanui,

Suzette
