Covid-19: Cases still appearing in Waikato, but vaccination rates lagging in some areas

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 14 October 2021

Cases of Covid-19 in the Waikato are continuing to pop up. 

While vaccination rates across the region are improving - some areas are lagging behind.  

Just 40 percent of the eligible population in the Ōtorohanga District are fully vaccinated - the lowest in the Waikato.  

We sent reporter Kate Gregan - armed with a negative test and her essential worker exemption - across the boundary to find out what's going on.
