Covid-19 vaccinations: Kiwis urged to wear short sleeves

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 25 August 2021

The momentum to get vaccinated is growing exponentially in New Zealand as the spread of delta continues...

That's according to the Immunisation Advisory Centre, which trains our vaccine workforce. 

Loretta Roberts is the centre's national manager and joins Jesse to explain.
