The Ministry of Health has begun the rollout of vaccines in New Zealand prisons, with Whanganui Prison the first in line to have a portion of prisoners in its care fully vaccinated.
The Whanganui District Health Board regional vaccine rollout team visited the prison earlier this month to administer around 250 doses, 78 of which went to prisoners.
