Members of New Zealand's Pacific communities are emphasising the importance of clear messaging about the Covid-19 vaccine.

The country's rollout of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is still in its early stages. But according to the government, the next tranche of vaccinations will focus on non-border frontline workers and those living in what are considered high-risk settings.

This includes many Pacific people, among whom there is some hesitancy about vaccination, as Johnny Blades reports.
