Welcome to Crawford Medical Centre in Howick

At Covid-19 Level 4, we recommend a phone or video consultation but we can also see you in person.  Please arrive 5 min early to allow for the additional screening processes and wear a mask while onsite.

We give Covid-19 Vaccinations by appointment and have appointments available immediately.  Please book by selecting ‘Book Appointment’ above or call us on 09 538 0083.   All our Covid-19 Vaccines are delivered from our temporary clinic at 12B Picton St (behind our Specialist Centre).

Our Dr Janli Stapelberg comments that the vaccine “is not just for individual protection but to create an ‘immune cocoon’ around children who are not yet vaccinated, and the babies who will likely be last in the queue to be vaccinated.  Overseas experience shows us that more kids end up in hospital due to Delta than the original COVID strains.  And we’ve all have heard that even vaccinated patients with Delta can spread the virus but large studies (100,000 volunteers in the UK) have shown that among people testing positive, those who had been vaccinated had a lower viral load on average than unvaccinated patients.  Therefore they’re less likely to spread the virus, and lower viral loads predict a lower severity of illness.  So we can be confident that vaccinating will continue to keep our kids and babies safer.”
