PEENI HENARE CONFIDENT MĀORI, PASIFIKA WILL BE TARGETED IN COVID VACCINE ROLLOUTAssociate Health Minister Peeni Henare is confident Māori and Pasifika communities most in need of the Covid-19 vaccine will be targeted in the vaccine rollout, even if South Auckland isn't prioritised. “I can tell you that Māori and Pasifika are throughout the entire phases of the vaccine rollout programme,” Henare said. The vaccine sequencing plan was laden with Treaty of Waitangi principles to ensure Māori were where they needed to be in the plan, Henare said. “I can also tell you that the vaccine sequencing and plan is within it, embedded Tiriti o Waitangi principles, which actually push, in particular the Māori cohort into the space where it needs to for the vaccine rollout,” he said....... www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/peeni-henare-confident-m-ori-pasifika-targeted-in-covid-vaccine-rollout-without-south-auckland-being-prioritised
