Te Ranga Tupua iwi collective is using its own Covid-19 data system to guide its 15-week rapid response vaccination rollout.
The iwi collective is sending four government-funded mobile units into vulnerable communities in the Whanganui, South Taranaki, Rangitīkei and Ruapehu regions to drive up vaccination rates among Māori.
Operations co-lead Elijah Pue said the iwi collective's own data system, alongside information from the Ministry of Health, means the units can be sent "exactly to where the people really need us".
Pue said the data includes daily vaccination numbers and is provided by the iwi collective's logistics and procurement lead Chris Kumeroa, who heads a security, emergency and incident management consultancy.
