Covid-19: Taranaki DHB banks on free food to entice population to get vaccinated

Everybody loves a free feed, and Taranaki DHB is banking on that as a way to entice people to get a jab.

Anybody who turns up at the New Plymouth vaccination centre before 9am on Wednesday will be treated to a bacon butty.

It's part of an effort to boost Taranaki's low vaccination rates - as of last week, only 28 percent of the eligible population had been fully vaccinated.

Taranaki's Covid-19 Vaccination Programme boss Bevan Clayton-Smith spoke to Corin Dann.
