What do you think of Northland rugby clubs and iwi health providers teaming up to encourage vaccines?
An initiative between Northland's rugby community and iwi health providers is aiming to give the region’s vaccination rates a kick.
The programme, dubbed Take 2 for The Team, will see local sport clubs encourage players, whānau and supporters to get vaccinated, with clubs getting $10 each time someone gets a jab.
The aim is to make Northland the first province at least 90 per cent fully vaccinated by Christmas, with a focus on Māori and Pasifika communities, enabling sports competitions to run uninterrupted in future.

Remembering the 51 Trees planted at Whangarei Falls, Tikipunga
1 July 2019
School children, parents and teachers, local maori Hapu members and Kuia & Kaumatua were among more than 100 people who together planted 51 trees in Whangārei to honour the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings.
