The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, says Kaumatua and Māori won't necessarily be at the front of the queue in the vaccine roll-out, but they will not be left behind.
Ms Ardern made the comments while attending a virtual Iwi Chair Forum in Whangarei this morning.
The vaccine schedule was one of the key concerns raised by iwi.
RNZ's political reporter, Charlie Dreaver, is following developments and spoke to Emma Hatton.
