Lower Hutt Pasifika Covid-19 vaccination brings festive flavour

From Checkpoint, 5:56 pm on 19 May 2021

Capital and Coast District Health Board has started rolling out early Covid-19 vaccinations to more than 5,000 Pacific people and their families in the region with a Pacific Vaccination Festival Day in Lower Hutt.

Reporter Ruth Hill and visual journalist Dom Thomas went along.
