A Māori public health expert says the Covid vaccination roll out fails to take account of who would be most at risk if Covid-19 gets back out into the community.
Dr Rhys Jones says that’s Māori and Pasifika people, but so far only 8.5 percent of Māori are vaccinated compared with 14 percent of Pākehā.
That’s because the age-band structure of the vaccination programme has privileged Pākehā - and was done against the advice of Māori who wanted younger Māori and Pasifka vaccinated earlier.
