Episode Ep 5: Booking a Flu Jab over the Phone
在本期节目中，我们将学习在新西兰尚未注册家庭医生（GP）的情况下，如何通过电话以临时患者（Casual Patient）的身份为3岁以下儿童预约流感疫苗，以及相关的注册和海外疫苗记录转换等实用流程。
Transcript: Kia ora! Welcome back to the 'Kiwi English Booster'. This is Episode 06, and today we are getting ready for the winter season by sorting out a flu jab for the kids. Winter is coming, and getting a flu vaccine is a great way to stay healthy. But what if you are new to New Zealand, haven't found a regular GP yet, and want to know if your child under three can get vaccinated? It involves a few more steps like registering as a casual patient and updating overseas records. Let's listen to the conversation between a clinic receptionist and a parent. Receptionist: Kia ora! City Medical Centre, how can I help you today? Parent: Kia ora! I'm calling to see if I can get a flu jab for my two-year-old. We aren't enrolled with a GP here yet. Can kids under three get it as a casual patient? Receptionist: Yep, no worries at all. Toddlers can definitely get the flu vaccine. Since you're not enrolled, we'll need to set you up as a casual patient first, and the wee one needs to be registered under your name. Parent: Sweet as. What documents do I need to bring in? Receptionist: You'll need to bring passports and visa details for both you and your child. Also, before we do the jab, we'll need to book a quick consultation to get their overseas vaccination records sorted in our system. Parent: Good on ya, mate. I'll pop in tomorrow with the paperwork. Cheers! There were some very helpful details in there! Let's look at some Kiwi terms. First, Flu jab. F-L-U space J-A-B. In New Zealand, people usually say 'jab' instead of 'shot' or 'injection'. Second, Wee one. W-E-E space O-N-E. 'Wee' means small, so this is an affectionate way to say little child. Third, No worries. N-O space W-O-R-R-I-E-S. This is a very common way of saying 'it's fine' or 'not a problem'. Lastly, Pop in. P-O-P space I-N. This means to visit a place quickly or drop by. Now let's hear how it sounds in a busy environment with a natural, faster pace. Receptionist: Kia ora! City Medical Centre, how can I help you today? Parent: Kia ora! I'm calling to see if I can get a flu jab for my two-year-old. We aren't enrolled with a GP here yet. Can kids under three get it as a casual patient? Receptionist: Yep, no worries at all. Toddlers can definitely get the flu vaccine. Since you're not enrolled, we'll need to set you up as a casual patient first, and the wee one needs to be registered under your name.
