Covid-19: Hauraki Plains switches from testing to vaccination mode

From Morning Report, 7:54 am on 24 September 2021

A Hauraki Plains health organisation Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki is pivoting from Covid-19 tests to a vaccine push on two marae this weekend.

The area went into lockdown after three members of a local household contracted the virus from an Auckland prisoner bailed to a Firth of Thames home.

The clinic will do day 12 tests early next week, but concerns that the community is facing an outbreak have died down.

Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki chief executive Riana Manuel spoke to Corin Dann.
