Health officials are being accused of holding out on cash to help a West Auckland Māori school boost vaccinations in their local community.
With some students already covid positive, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi is remaining closed to protect tauira.
Principal Hare Rua says he asked his local health coordinator six weeks ago for money to help dispense vaccinations but last week was rejected.
Undeterred, the Tāmaki Makaurau based Kura has been forced to use money from its own curriculum.
Te Aorewa Rolleston reports.
