Whanganui rangatahi are hosting a live online Q&A session to create space for young people to ask questions about Covid-19 and the vaccination.
The session will be run by a team called Rangatahi Takeover. They will host guests Che Wilson and Dr Rawiri Jansen and will encourage young people tuning in to ask questions about the virus and jabs.
The Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Health's Māori Health Directorate, John Whaanga, said of the nearly 1200 cases in the current outbreak only 4 per cent of those eligible for a jab were fully immunised and 260 were tamariki under the age of 12, who are unable to get vaccinated.
