Vaccine inequity: Information and resources

Explore resources and information about making informed choices on COVID 19 vaccines 

Find a wealth of information here from different organisations about your choices.

Social inclusion means:

  • Addressing vaccine inequities is fundamentally led by Tangata Whaiora
  • Immunisation centres take a - Te Tiriti o Waitangi and human rights - approach to addressing vaccine inequities.
  • That a humanised approach is administered

A resounding message from Tangata whaiora: “Kei a koe te tikanga – It’s your choice!” Let’s make it an informed choice and wānanga as whānau.
