Days out from the Cook Islands opening its doors to New Zealand, a group of experts have touched down to support the country's Covid-19 vaccination rollout.
Representatives from New Zealand's Immunisation Advisory Centre will help educate the medical workforce around preparation and administration of the Pfizer vaccine.
Nobody among the 17,000-strong Cook Islands population has contracted the virus and locals hope it stays that way after quarantine-free travel from New Zealand begins this Sunday.
Immunisation Advisory Centre national manager Loretta Roberts, who is among the specialist group who arrived last night, spoke to Corin Dann.
