Call to be more inclusive of children in Covid-19 response

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 26 November 2021

Are we being inclusive enough of children in our pandemic response? 

That's a question that child health researcher Julie Spray has been considering - in consultation with children of course!

Dr Spray is a medical and childhood anthropologist, who is currently a research fellow in the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland.

She recently wrote about this issue of inclusivity for The Spinoff and talks to Jesse about where she sees gaps in our national response.
