Poll: What should the new Mr Whippy-style vaccination buses be called?
Mobile vaccination buses will be rolled out in Auckland from Thursday, in the style of Mr Whippy ice cream vans.
A similar initiative was launched in Australia at the start of the month, and buses became known as “Jabba the Bus”.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has challenged the public to come up with a better name, but has ruled out “Busey McBusface”.
What do you think the vaccination buses should be called?

Knife Sharpening this Saturday at Repair & Share!
We're offering knife sharpening this week at the Repair & Share repair café at Auckland Library of Tools! This is hand sharpening by stone, so we are unable to sharpen serrated blades.
We will also be offering sewing repairs, small electronics, and general repair. Not to mention great home made treats and Kokako Organic Coffee. Mmmmmmmmm.
See you Saturday!
