Deputy PM: no room for threats of violence over vaccinations

From First Up, 5:48 am on 4 November 2021

The Prime Minister's national tour to try and give vaccination rates a boost was hampered by small but very vocal protests of people opposed to getting the vaccine. Jacinda Ardern was forced to call off her Northland press conference after being heckled by a man who was making claims about the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine. And yesterday, she abandoned a planned visit to a Whanganui vaccination clinic which was being picketed by a group of anti-vax protesters. Nathan Rarere asked Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson about what appears to be a growing anti-vaccine movement in Aotearoa.
