In this edition of the CEO Update

Just as the West Coast avoided the predicted severe flooding, we managed to get through the Waitangi long weekend without a spike in COVID-19 cases. With the gap between the second vaccine dose and booster now reduced to three months, many more Cantabrians are now eligible and taking the opportunity to secure that important additional protection from Omicron. Along with boosters, Peter shares some information about wellbeing and acknowledges the efforts of those who helped out the West Coast last week. From those who coordinated the response to the many others who stepped up to help out.

Also, in this edition, we have a personal take on the significance of Waitangi Day, we recognise two smoke-free champions, and the marking of World Cancer Day coincides with an honour for Christchurch Hospital Medical Oncologist and University of Otago Professor, Bridget Robinson.
