The aunties of the Waitara Māori Women's Welfare League (MWWL) are leading the
charge against Covid-19 in defence of their kaumatua, their whānau, their hapu, and
the wider community.
Together with the Taranaki DHB and Ngāti Rāhiri Hapu, the members of the MWWL in
Waitara are holding Covid-19 vaccination clinics at 38 Queen St, Waitara (next to
New World supermarket), for the next four weeks.
Waitara MWWL secretary Wiki Michalanney says if we want to keep our whānau and our community safe, people need to be vaccinated.
"Us wahine wanted to help and reached out to the Taranaki DHB so we could hold a clinic for the whole community. We are welcoming everyone because it is only by coming together we are going to beat this thing."
Cups of tea and coffee will be available, and Wiki promises some edible treats too.
