Covid-19 vaccines have gone airborne to reach residents of Mōtītī Island, nine kilometres off the coast of Tauranga.
The Bay of Plenty District Health Board worked with vaccination providers and residents of the island to deliver a "fly-in, drive-through" Covid-19 vaccination clinic on the island on Monday.
"The protection the Covid-19 vaccine offers us is incredibly important," Bay of Plenty DHB Covid-19 incident controller Trevor Richardson said.
"Our team are working creatively to ensure we offer it to all of the diverse populations of Te Moana ā Toi."
The DHB said it administered 13 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine on the island at this clinic.
