    A warning to keep our priorities straight for our vaccine roll-out ..

    A warning to keep our priorities straight for our vaccine roll-out ..


    Medsafe has given a provisional green light for giving 12 to 15-year-olds the Pfizer vaccine.

    Cabinet will review Health Ministry advice, before deciding whether to dose that age group.

    Immunisation Advisory Centre Director Nikki Turner says it's a good idea to offer as much protection as possible.

    But she says the important group to vaccinate right now - for the wider community - is high-risk adults - not teenagers.
