The new chair of the DHB's iwi partner Hauora-ā-Iwi, Shar Tapa-Mosen, said it was crucial to get trusted information to rangatahi to encourage them to get vaccinated. "We just need to get that message out to them [to] get your vaccination – that's going to give you the best protection going forward.
