Vaccine safety and mandates will come into focus as the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the government's Covid-19 response enters its fifth day.
We will be livestreaming the day's hearings at the top of this page.
Friday's evidence will include testimonies from mandated industries, nursing and midwifery sectors and researchers.
Hato Hone St John, Autism New Zealand, New Zealand College of Midwives, New Zealand Nurses Organisation, University of Canterbury, University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology and Hospitality New Zealand are among those speaking.
It comes after a tense fourth day of hearings, with critics describing what they called red-flags in the vaccine roll-out and mandates.
More hearings are also expected to be held in Wellington next month.
