Pasifika Medical Association head on vaccination plans

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 25 February 2021

The government is being urged to consider vaccinating South Aucklanders first when the community roll out starts.

Papatoetoe and its surrounding suburbs are grappling with the current Covid-19 outbreak - and the south was dispropotionately hit by Auckland's large August cluster.

Some health experts say when the roll out goes wider, consideration should be given to putting South Auckland near the top of the queue.
