Covid-19: Jansen on Auckland DHBs Māori vaccination progress

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 1 December 2021

Auckland's three district health boards are closing in on a significant milestone when it comes to vaccinating Māori against Covid-19.

Auckland DHB is just 292 people short of that goal for first doses, and is expected within the next day or two to reach the goal of 90 percent of Māori having had at least one dose.

The DHB is closely followed by Counties Manukau and Waitematā DHBs.

National Hauora Coalition clinical director and of the national Māori Pandemic Group Te Rōpū Whakakaupapa Urutā co-leader Dr Rawiri McKree Jansen spoke to Susie Ferguson.
