A new campaign supporting the Covid-19 vaccination programme is focussing on ethnic and religious communities that, because of misinformation, are fearful of getting vaccinated.

Te Kupenga - Catholic Leadership Institute Chief Executive Dr Areti Metuamate says the ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ campaign aims to reach people in about 10 ethnic communities and allay fears they may have about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

The campaign, which includes a video and handouts in English, Tongan and Samoan, encourages families to work together for the wellbeing of their community. It also addresses fears people may have.
