Whānau Māori

Welcome e hoa ma

This page has important information below for you and your whānau to understand why it’s important to get vaccinated, and to answer any patai you might have.

Getting vaccinated protects our people and our whakapapa. It’s one of the ways that our kaumatua, our tamariki and our whānau can remain safe from COVID-19.

We know that it's been hard whānau, we're right there with you!

Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui

Where you can get vaccinated

We have vaccination centres around the motu, including Māori-led centres. Our kaimahi are here to kōrero and support you.
