The country’s first ever ‘vaxathon’ is taking place with the target of getting 100,000 eligible people vaccinated with either their first or second dose.
The event has got communities around the country pulling out all the stops with icecream, rugby tickets and even free wax treatments on offer to lure people - and it all culminates with a telethon-like broadcast coming out of Avalon Studios in Lower Hutt, screening on multiple platforms including TV3, TVNZ2 and Māori Television.
Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield joins Saturday Morning to discuss the Covid response and vaxathon.
