Canterbury District Health Board is making some changes to vaccination clinics and RAT collection in Selwyn.

The clinic at Rolleston Community Centre will be closed this Saturday 26 March 2022. But there will be a vaccination clinic at Lincoln Event Centre this weekend, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 March, between 12.30-5.30pm. No bookings required.

The DHB has also added two new rapid antigen test (RAT) collection sites in Selwyn at Darfield  Pharmacy and Leeston Pharmacy. You need to order RATs before heading to any of these pharmacies. Please wear a mask when attending the pharmacy and advise staff if you are symptomatic.

Orders can be made via the online system at https://requestrats.covid19.health.nz/ by free calling 0800 222 478 to request your RAT tests.

Rapid Antigen Tests can also be collected at the Rolleston RAT Collection Centre, Factory Drive, iZone from 2pm-6pm Monday to Friday. These hours may be subject to change at short notice.

RATs are free for:

  • people with COVID-19 symptoms or who are a household contact or who have been instructed to get
    tested by a health official.
  • Critical workers who are household contacts
  • Border workers who are required to be tested under the Required Testing Order
