Covid-19: Calls for more speed on child vaccinations

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 2 December 2021

The clock's ticking for the government to get children aged five to 11 vaccinated against Covid-19.

Minister Chris Hipkins has announced he expects advice from Medsafe in a couple of weeks and the rollout should start in late January.

Some are urging officials to move faster as a number of schools shut down for days because of infected students or staff.
