The pop-up centres at these campuses took place in April and early May. Students and eligible staff who were unable to take advantage of these are still entitled to a University funded influenza vaccination if they can travel to City Campus.
Tai Tokerau Campus
Eligible staff and students can obtain their flu vaccination locally from Kensington Pharmacy with no upfront cost. Just present your Campus Card. No booking is required.
Kensington Pharmacy
4 Kensington Avenue, Whangarei
Leigh Marine Laboratory and Goldie Estate, staff only
Unfortunately we are not able to offer University funded flu vaccinations at these locations, therefore eligible staff working at Leigh and Goldie are able to obtain the vaccine off-campus at their local medical centre or pharmacy, and claim reimbursement using Concur. The standard refund amount is $35.
Concur guides relating to reimbursement are available on the Finance
user manuals and guides page (staff intranet).
Students are entitled to a University-funded flu vaccination at City Campus if they are able to travel there.
