Hobsonville Family Doctors will continue to operate with the same precautions we had for Alert Level 4 to ensure we keep you and your whanau safe.

- The front door will be locked so that only patients we are expecting will be allowed in.

- Our clinic requires that all patients wear a mask on the premises during level 4 regardless of symptoms or vaccination status, young children are exempt.

- Routine immunisations continue to proceed.

- We will continue to fax all prescriptions including repeat prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice. The faxing surcharge will be waived.

Covid-19 vaccinations:

- We are currently providing the Covid-19 vaccination at our clinic for our patients. If you would like to arrange a vaccination please call us.

Finally:

- If you are unwell with COVID-19 symptoms including a fever, cough, runny nose or sore throat please stay at home call us to arrange for a phone/video appointment and a swab (which we will be doing in the carpark at certain hours of the day), or go to a swabbing clinic:
