The intuitive NZ COVID Vaccination Finder for New Zealand

Perhaps you visited bookmyvaccine.nz, only to find that all of the places closest to you are booked out weeks or months in advance?

In response to this, we've built vaxx.nz to make the experience of finding an earlier vaccine appointment close to you easier.

Choose your location, set the distance you wish to travel and it will show ALL of the earliest available vaccination slots using those search parameters. After you find the vaccine clinic with your desirable slot, you can proceed to bookmyvaccine.nz and book your appointment. We fetch data every 30 minutes from the official APIs, so slot information should be near real-time.

Over the course of one week, our team of 6 developers and 2 designers built a website to aide residents of New Zealand in booking their COVID-19 vaccine the intuitive way! Rather than selecting your location, and booking the next available slot, Vaxx.nz (aka. The NZ COVID Vaccination Finder) let's you choose when you want to receive your vaccine at a provider near you. Eliminating the filtering hassle and subsequent frustration.

We automatically load any locations giving vaccines listed on bookmyvaccine.nz, but if you know of one we don't have, contact Healthpoint to profile the missing location: https://www.healthpoint.co.nz/register/

We recognise that the best projects aren't built alone. If you would like to contribute, check out the guides below:
