Report from LDR
Iwi and iwi health providers pushing for earlier Covid-19 vaccination for Māori over the age of 50 are at the same time searching for ways to deal with vaccine hesitancy.
Whanganui District Health Board (WDHB) has delivered 4000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, mostly to border workers, frontline health staff, and rest home, police, fire and prison workers. People over the age of 65 will be offered vaccination in the next rollout phase, due to begin this month.
Iwi health authority Te Oranganui chief executive Wheturangi Walsh-Tapiata said Māori working with the DHB continued to advocate for Māori over 50 to be included in the next phase. But she said the flipside to the issue was dealing with reluctance among many Māori to get the jab.
Ready, willing and able - 20 new recruits to the Whanganui vaccine campaign.
