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.
