Dr Rawiri Jansen Te Rōpū Whakakaupapa Urutā (Māori pandemic group), of which Jansen is a co-leader, pushed for prioritisation and a Māori led vaccination roll-out from the start but were denied. The Government has finally funded Māori led vaccine initiatives that are now playing catch up against a ticking clock. If the Government followed their advice 12 months ago, Jansen says, the Māori vaccine roll-out would not be an issue.
