YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF SUPER SATURDAY. WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU? I'D LIKE TO COME HOME. MAINLY, SELFISHLY. WE NEED MANY PEOPLE TO GET BAKST SO THAT THEY WILL EASE UP ON THE BORDER SCENARIOS AND WE CAN HAVE A BIT MORE FLOW IN AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY AT SOME STAGE. ALSO, IT JUST MAKES SENSE. WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE SAFE. WE WANT TO GO OUT TO CONTINUE OUR LIVES. I AM IN LOS ANGELES AND THE NUMBERS IN THE STATE HAVE BEEN ATROCIOUS, BUT IT FEELS PRETTY NORMAL HERE NOW. PEOPLE ARE OUT AND ABOUT, THEY GO TO RESTAURANTS. AND IT'S BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE IN CALIFORNIA, MOST PEOPLE, ANAL VACCINATED. I AM REALLY URGING AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN TO DO IT.

SHE IS GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING WITH PADDY G. PORIRUA, THAT IS A COMMUNITY THAT HAS ALWAYS GOTTEN TOGETHER, ALWAYS BANDED TOGETHER. THEY HAVE THOUSANDS ALREADY THIS MORNING. I THINK IT IS AWESOME WHEN YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY LIKE PORIRUA, WHICH IS FULL OF LIFE, FULL OF CULTURE. WHY DON'T YOU GO AND CHECK IT OUT? I AM LUCKY TO BE FULLY VACCINATED. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS AGO, SO I GOT MY TWO DOSES. AND I FEEL A LOT BETTER, A LOT LESS ANXIOUS, BECAUSE NOW I KNOW THAT I HAVE A FORM OF PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19. THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO DO IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WHOSE HEALTH IS COMPROMISED BY COVID-19, AND EVEN THOUGH I FEEL LIKE I'M A RELATIVELY HEALTHY PERSON, I WANTED TO GET VACCINATED SO I WOULD NOT PASS IT ON TO ANYONE WHO WOULD SUFFER FROM IT. THAT IS THE REASON WHY I AM DOING IT. I WANT TO SAVE SOMEONE'S GRANNY. I WANT TO PROTECT THE REST OF AOTEAROA FROM COVID-19. AND YOU SHOULD TOO! GET IN THERE! PORIRUA, THE GREAT CITY OF PORIRUA.

WE WERE GROOVING ON THE SIDELINES. THAT WAS SO LOVELY TO HAVE YOU HERE. HOW BEAUTIFUL IS YOUR VOICE? YOU ARE JUST SHOWING UP IN HERE, ROCKING YOUR THING. WHAT IS GOING ON? BUSY AS, WRITING A NEW ALBUM. WORKING WITH SOME GREAT COLLABORATORS. GETTING THE BUSINESS DONE! I LIKE THAT. YOU ARE ALSO A FULL-TIME TEACHER. HOW DO YOU BALANCE? I'M NOT DOING THAT ANY MORE. I AM NOW WORKING ON RADIO, DOING SOME HOSTING. BUT TEACHING WAS REALLY COOL. I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A FOOT IN TE REO MAORI. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR OUR PARENTS, OUR WHANAU. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET VACCINATED. IF YOU FEEL IT, GOING GET VACCINATED. I DON'T FEEL THEY CAN BE ANY HARM IN GETTING IT DONE. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH YOUR PIPES AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR UPCOMING ALBUM. (APPLAUSE) IT IS SO GREAT TO HAVE HIM DURING US IN STUDIO. WHAT A VOICE. WE ARE ALSO JOINED BY A VERY SPECIAL GUEST DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF HEALTH DR ASHLEY BROOMFIELD. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE PRETTY BUSY TODAY. I HAVE ALREADY DONE SOME INTERVIEWS ON RADIO, A FACEBOOK LIVE SESSION. I AM HEADING UP TO PORIRUA AFTER THIS. IT IS GREAT TO BE IN THE STUDIO NOW THOUGH. WE HAVE JUST HEARD SOME LATEST NUMBERS. 60,000 ALREADY. WE HAVE ONLY BEEN ON FOR 30 MINUTES, SO WE OBVIOUSLY DOING OUR JOB. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A HIGH RATE OF MAORI VACCINATIONS. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU ARE STARTING TO HEAR THESE NUMBERS COME THROUGH. IT IS A FANTASTIC RESPONSE. WE ARE GOING TO GET WAY IN EXCESS OF 100,000 AT THIS RATE. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, MURRAY VACCINATIONS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE OVERALL POPULATION, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE VACCINATION RATES HIGH ACROSS ALL MURRAY AND PASIFIKA ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ALL ABOUT HONOURABLE COMMUNITIES. IS NOT JUST ENOUGH TO SAY 90% OVERALL, SO IT IS GREAT TO SEE DOES NOT IS COMING THROUGH. WHAT YOU SAY TO THOSE WHO ARE BIT HESITANT ABOUT GETTING THE VACCINE? I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOME MIGHT BE HESITANT, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD, REALLY SAFE VACCINE HERE. IT HAS BEEN USED ON HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. WE ARE APPROACHING 90% OF KIWIS WHO HAVE OPTED TO BE VACCINATED. THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. GET ADVICE, TALK TO SOMEONE YOU TRUST, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO YOU TRUST AND NO HAVE ALREADY BEEN VACCINATED. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT EARLY ON IN THE PANDEMIC, WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER IN THE FIRST LOCKDOWN. NOW THE MESSAGE HAS SHIFTED, BUT IT IS PRETTY SIMILAR. GET VACCINATED, SAVE LIVES, BE KIND. YOU ARE BEING KIND TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE BEING KIND TO OTHERS BY PROTECTING THEM. LOGISTICALLY, FOR THIS BROADCAST, I WAS LAST ON THE LIST TO JOIN, UNDERSTANDABLY, BUT FOR YOU IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH, WHAT GOES INTO SUPER SHOT SATURDAY? WHAT GOES INTO RUNNING AS BACKS OF THE LIKENESS? WE FOUND OUT AND ABOUT THE LAST TWO WEEKS WHAT IT TAKES. IT HAS BENEFIT NOMINAL EFFORT. I WANT TO MENTION ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THE MOTU WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO WORK ON THIS. THEY ARE THERE TODAY WITH ENERGY, WITH ENTHUSIASM, THEY ARE OUT THERE AT AROUND 700 PLACES AROUND THE MOTU. IT IS JUST A FABULOUS EFFORT. WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS COLLECTIVELY IF WE ALL ACTED EACH OTHER'S INTERESTS. IF WE DO GET TO THAT 90% RATE, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE SUMMER? THAT'S THE POINT. GETTING ABOVE 90% IS OUR TICKET WERE REALLY GREAT SUMMER, GOING TO THE EVENTS, TRAVELLING. BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUALS. WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU ON THE PHONES. PATRICK GOWER HAS A BIT OF A TIKTOK THING. I'M SURE YOU'VE HAD SOME HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FROM AOTEAROA, AND KEEP IT COMING AND BY THE WAY ` DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED? ANYTHING YOU ARE GOING TO BUST OUT THE FIRST TIME TODAY? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PREPARED, BUT I'M USED TO STANDING UP AT 1 O'CLOCK EACH DAY AND GETTING ALL SORTS OF STUFF AND AT ME EACH DAY, SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ON ANYTHING ON, SO IF IT IS JOINING PADDY IN A TIKTOK DANCE, THEN I AM UP FOR THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. WE WILL SEE LITTLE BIT LATER, AND KEEP ACTING AS DANCE MOVES. STAY WITH US, WE HAVE MUCH MORE. WE ARE GOING TO SOME OTHER LOCATIONS. THROUGHOUT THE DAY, YOU WILL BE SEEING LOTS OF PARTICIPATION FROM CELEBRITIES. YOU KNOW THEM WELL, YOU KNOW THEM ACROSS BROADCASTING IN NEW ZEALAND. THEY ARE BRINGING US A MESSAGE. I WAS SAYING EARLIER BEFORE THAT YOU DON'T EXPECT TO GET VACCINATED IN MARAE. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY TRANSFORMED IT. HOPEFULLY IT ENCOURAGES MURRAY AS WELL THAT MIGHT BE A BIT ANXIOUS. WHAT AN EXCITING DAY AND WHAT AN HONOUR IT IS FOR THE MARAE TO HOST THE AUCKLAND BLUES. WE ARE REALLY PRIVILEGED TO HAVE THEM HERE. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE TO LEAVE IT AS TRUSTED BY THE IMMUNITY PROMOTING THE VACCINE MAKING IT EASY AND ACCESSIBLE FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MOST AT RISK. I THINK IT IS FANTASTIC. (WHITNEY HOUSTON'S 'DANCE WITH SOMEBODY' REMIX PLAYS) DJ SHAN PROVIDING THE TUNES FOR VAXATHON SUPER SATURDAY. THAT IS MY JAM. I FEEL LEFT OUT. THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN AMAZING. OVER 61,000.

I NEED TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY OTHER TEAMMATES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I CAN DO MY JOB AND PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, YOU'VE GOT YOUNG KIDS, SO HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR THEM, AS THEY CANNOT GET VACCINATED? IN LOCKDOWN, YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IN YOUR BUBBLE, AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN A SAFE BUBBLE, AND IF EVERYONE IS GETTING IT DONE AND OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE IS A COMMUNITY.

ALL THESE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS COME TOGETHER FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND HAVE A VERY TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP. BULA VINAKA. I AM A THIRD-YEAR NURSING STUDENT. THE THING THAT I VALUE IS HELPING PEOPLE, AND SEEING PEOPLE BE THE BEST OF THEMSELVES. LIVING HERE IN NEW ZEALAND NOW, I THINK TO MYSELF, WHAT CAN I DO TO BE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION FOR OUR HEALTH SYSTEM. IT'S ABOUT EQUALITY AND EQUITY OF THE PACIFIC PEOPLE AND THE MAORI PEOPLE. I AM YEAR THREE NURSING STUDENT. GROWING UP, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. I WANT TO BE THAT PACIFIC BASE OUT THERE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE, BUT FOR ME, IT WAS MY MUM. SHE WAS A NURSE AND SHE IS A VERY BIG AND FLUENCE ON ME. I GOT TO GO WITH HER TO WORK ONE DAY AND IT WAS VERY INSPIRING FOR ME. A DECISION WAS MADE THAT WE WERE GOING TO SUPPORT THE COVERT 19 VACCINATION ROLLOUT, BECAUSE OF COURSE THE MOST VULNERABLE ARE MAORI AND PACIFIC. WE PUT THE CALL OUT FOR SUPER SATURDAY, I GOT AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO COME IN HERE ON THEIR OWN TIME. I'M GOING TO BE THERE WITH A FEW OF OUR OTHER COLLEAGUES, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. THERE'S LOTS OF GOOD RESOURCES OUT THERE, THE VACCINATION IS SAFE. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO AND SEE THE NURSES AT YOU RLOCAL GP AND JUST ASK THEM QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A DOCTOR OR A NURSING FRIEND, JUST ASK THEM SOME QUESTIONS, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED ABOUT THE CONVERSATION. TO LOOK AFTER ALBA NOBLE COMMUNITIES, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET VACCINATED. LET'S SAVE THE COMMUNITY, LET'S STAMP THIS COVID.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB IN THE STUDIO AS WELL. THERE ARE SOME SWEATY PITS GOING ON, I'LL BE HONEST. AS A NEW MUM, HOW HAVE YOU FOUND IT? THAT IS A BIG ONE FOR ME. WE HAD BEEN OUT OF HOSPITAL FOR ABOUT FIVE DAYS WHEN LOCKDOWN ECTON. MY LITTLE GIRL, SHE ACTUALLY HASN'T MET A LOT OF HER WHANAU YET WHO LIVE OUT OF AUCKLAND. MY MUM IS IN DUNEDIN. SHE GOT TO MEET MY DAUGHTER, BUT SHE IS STUCK DOWN THERE AND CANNOT COME BACK. MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY IS IN CHRISTCHURCH. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND MY PAPA HAVE NOT MET HER YET. SOME DAYS I JUST SAY SORRY TO HER THAT THIS IS THE WORLD THAT I HAVE BROUGHT HER INTO. THE BEST THING IS IS THAT WE, AS A PEOPLE, HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THAT FOR LITTLE BABIES LIKE. DID YOU GET THE VACCINE DURING YOUR PREGNANCY OR AFTERWARDS? I DID GET IT DURING MY PREGNANCY. I BASICALLY JUST WANTED TO DO WHATEVER WAS IN MY POWER TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY BABY. PUTTING ANYTHING IN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT IT, WHETHER IT IS FAR TOO MANY CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCUITS OR ICE CREAM OR A VACCINE THAT YOU HAVEN'T HAD BEFORE. SO FOR ME, I TALKED TO MY DOCTOR. I ACTUALLY TALKED TO A COUPLE OF DOCTORS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. I READ SOME REALLY GOOD ARTICLES FROM NEWS SOURCES THAT I TRUSTED. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO KNOW THAT I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING. I ENDED UP GOING AND GETTING VACCINATED OUT AT HENDERSON. IT WAS SUCH A LOVELY EXPERIENCE. I WAS GREETED BY PEOPLE SAYING KIA ORA. AND WHEN I SAID, 'I'M HAPU, CAN I HAVE A PARK CLOSE TO THE DOOR?' THEY WERE VERY WELCOMING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. ESPECIALLY BEING PREGNANT, IT IS SO NICE TO HEAR OF THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAD. WE ARE NOW GOING TO HEAD TO KAITAIA WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL HOST THERE. I AM HERE. (SPEAK MAORI) THE LANES ARE FULL ON HERE. EVERYBODY IS GETTING READY TO DO WHAT THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ` WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT. THE WEATHER HAS TURNED OUT. WE WERE IN KAITAIA, BUT WE HAVE SHIFTED TO AHIPARA. IT IS ALL ABOUT SAFETY. PEOPLE WANT TO BE SAFE. THEY HAD DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS THEY ARE THINKING OF THEIR WHANAU, AND THAT HAS BEEN THE EXERCISE TODAY. THEY ARE CERTAINLY EXERCISING THEIR SAFETY TODAY. EARLIER TODAY, WE WENT OUT TO SEE ANNIE'S WAY OF LIFE, ONE OF THE TIKTOK SENSATIONS HERE IN KAITAIA. I LOVE THAT, I LOVE IT. IT IS ABOUT HELPING EACH OTHER. IT'S ABOUT COMING EACH OTHER AND GIVING EACH OTHER KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. SO IF YOU LACK THE KNOWLEDGE, JUST GET IT. YOU CERTAINLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE EATING WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING FOOD TOGETHER, AND THIS IS THE SAME THING. WE WANT TO BE TOMORROW. AND IF WE WANT TO DO THAT, WE DO THAT SAFELY. THIS IS HOME TO MY LOCAL CLUB. MY RUGBY TEAM, THEY ARE THE TWO-TIME NATIONAL NORTHLAND RUGBY CHAMPIONS. I TELL YOU WHAT, WE ARE GOING TO BE HERE ALL DAY. IT IS HAPPENING. WE ARE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS GOING TO BE A FABULOUS DAY, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. (SPEAKS MAORI) DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID? NATIONAL NORTHLAND CHAMPIONS. I LOVE IT. OUR CALL TEAM HERE GETTING LOTS OF CALLS THROUGH. THEY ARE WORKING VERY HARD. A VERY SPECIAL GUEST WILL BE ON THE PHOTOS LATER TODAY, HELPING THE TEAM OUT. WE ARE NOW GOING BACK TO TAURANGA TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE. HERE I AM IN TAURANGA. I AM JUST ABOUT SOMEBODY HERE WITH ME. I WAS ASHLEY ON MY WAY OUT TO THE BEACH. I HAD THE WINDOW DOWN, AND COULD NOT HELP BUT SMELL SOME DELICIOUS KAI. LOOK WHAT I FOUND. I HAVE BEEN LIVING DOWN HERE FOR A FEW YEARS AND IT IS AWESOME. MOST OF MY FAMILY ARE UP IN AUCKLAND AND THEY HAVE BEEN LOCKED DOWN FOR A WHILE NOW. IT IS A PRETTY SIMPLE ONE FOR ME.

I'M HOPING THAT EVERYONE DOWN HOME GETS OUT, THAT FIRST DOSE IS SO IMPORTANT. IT'S A LITTLE PINPRICK, IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT. IT TAKES SECONDS. I'D GOT IT, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD HAD IT. 12,800, ALMOST HALF OF THOSE ARE FIRST DOSES. THAT IS FANTASTIC.

I URGE YOU TO GET OUT THERE. I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO ADMIT THAT I FIND GETTING INJECTIONS REALLY ICKY. EVER SINCE I HAD BEEN A KID, I HAVE TREATED MYSELF BY GOING TO THE BAKERY AFTER I GET AN INJECTION, NORMALLY FOR A CUSTARD TART. YOU COULD DO THAT, YOU COULD GET YOUR JAB AND THEN DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOUR COMMUNITY AND THEN GET YOURSELF A LITTLE TART, PERHAPS A CREAM BARN, AN APPLE TURNOVER IF YOU ARE FEELING CRAZY, BUT PLEASE GET THAT JAB.

I AM SURPRISED BY HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOT VAXXED, AND LET'S GET A WHOLE LOT MORE OUT THERE BEFORE THE END OF THIS. WE WILL CROSS LIVE TO 1 OF OUR LOCATIONS. LET'S GO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PORIRUA. NAU MAI HOKI MAI WHANAU. WELCOME BACK TO PORIRUA. (SPEAKS TE REO) WE ARE HERE... (LAUGHTER) WE ARE HERE WITH PEENI HENARE. (SPEAKS TE REO) THE VAXATHON, ESPECIALLY FOR NGA TANGATA PASIFIKA AND MAORI. IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC TO SEE TAMARIKI AND MOKOPUNA. IT BRINGS MAORI AND PASIFIKA WHANAU TO A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE. MOST PEOPLE WON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT TELETHON IS, BUT THESE TAMARIKI WILL. THERE IS A MASSIVE TURNOUT AT THE CAGE. THAT IS WHERE THEY HAVE THE BEST KAI I HEAR. YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT. TALKING ABOUT THE KAI, I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR MINISTER HENARE, IT'S NOT A TECHNICAL QUESTION. IT IS A WHANAU QUESTION. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME THE HANGI IS READY? ABOUT 230 OR 3 O'CLOCK, BUT I WILL FOLLOW YOU. DOWN AT THE CAGE IN CANON'S CREEK. WHATEVER DIETARY REQUIREMENTS YOU HAVE, THAT IS THE LAST PLACE YOU WANT TO GO TO. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AWESOME. PEENI, WHAT MIGHT YOU SAY TO OUR PASIFIKA WHANAU AND MAORI WHANAU ESPECIALLY IN PORIRUA WHO ARE THINKING, THEY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS OR ARE A BIT WHAKAMA. WE HAVE WHANAU THAT YOU RECOGNISE TO TALK WITH, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO CARE FOR YOU WHILE YOU GO THROUGH THIS. COME ON DOWN, HAERE MAI. YOU GOT A BIT BOMBARDED BY THE PAPARAZZI AND ALL YOUR FANS AT THE CAGE. SOMEONE CAME UP TO YOU AND ASKED, HOW COME YOU GOT VACCINATED? WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM? THEY HAD OTHER QUESTIONS AROUND THE VACCINE AND STUFF, BUT I SAID I AM DOING WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT FOR MY FAMILY TO HELP MY FAMILY AND PROTECT THEM, THAT IS THE REASON WHY I GOT IT. I HAVE FAMILY WHO ARE HELPING WITH THE ROLLOUT IN AUCKLAND. IT'S FOR A WHANAU, OUR COMMUNITY. IT HAS BEEN GREAT TALKING TO YOU. KIA ORA. WE ARE HERE. I'M A BIT NERVOUS. SUDDENLY THE LIGHTS AND CAMERAS CAME ON AND I STARTED FREAKING OUT JUST A BIT. I LOVE SEEING KIWIS GETTING VAXXED, AND I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR FAVOURITE COASTAL TOWNSHIP IN AOTEAROA, WAITARA. SEND THEIR PHOTOS TO MY INSTA AND MY NEW TIKTOK THAT IS OUT THERE. BREAKING NEWS FOR NEW ZEALAND ` PLEASE ANNOUNCE MY TIKTOK HANDLE ` MATUA PADDY G! HE IS ON TIKTOK! ANYONE FROM WAITARA ` IF YOU GET IN ON MY TIKTOK AND SHOW YOU GETTING A VAX IN WAITARA, I WILL FIND A PRIZE FOR YOU. GET THE VAX IN WAITARA, YOU MIGHT GET A PRIZE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT IT WILL BE GOOD. WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THAT NOW. KIA ORA. I AM NIKKI TURNER. I AM AN ACADEMIC GP, A PROFESSOR THAT WORKS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND AND I RUN IMMUNISATION ADVISORY CENTRE. WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL PROBLEMS, MAYBE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE NOT WORKING WELL OR ARE THEY ARE ON MEDICATION. THESE PEOPLE HAVE A HIGH RISK OF GETTING COVID. (SPEAKS TE REO) I HAVE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. A LOT OF DISABLED PEOPLE HAVE OTHER CONDITIONS. A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT IS THE VACCINE SAFE FOR ME? AND IT'S NICE, FINALLY, TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK TOO HARD ABOUT. THIS IS THE SCHEMA OF THE COVID IRIS ITSELF. SPITE PROTEINS HERE. THE VACCINE IS TARGETING THAT PROTEIN. IT MAKES THE VACCINE WAY MORE EFFECTIVE AND MUCH SAFER BECAUSE YOU ARE ONLY TARGETING THAT PEACE AND NOT THE WHOLE VIRUS. WE ARE SO DEPENDENT ON EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY RALLYING AROUND TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP US ALL SAFE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE ARE DOING SUPER WELL AT THE MOMENT. WE ARE LOOKING LIKE WE ARE ON TARGET TO GET REALLY HIGH COVERAGE. WE WILL SEE LESS COVID IN NEW ZEALAND, LESS PEOPLE WILL BE SICK. I WILL NOT BE SO BUSY. WE WILL ALL FEEL BETTER, AND WE CAN DO BETTER THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. SO GO FOR IT. WE CAN DO IT. NAU MAI HOKI MAI. WE ALL TRUST THE JAB, DON'T WE? I AM GETTING MY SECOND JAB TODAY. YOU ARE GETTING IT TODAY? WHAT ABOUT YOU, ANNA? HAVE YOU HAD YOUR SECOND VAX? BOOKED IN FOR TWO WEEKS TIME. I WAS THE LAST IN THE ROLLOUT TO GET IT. IF YOU ARE BOOKED IN ON THE FUTURE, YOU CAN JUST ROCK UP TODAY. IF YOU HAVE A BOOKING, YOU MAY AS WELL GET IT DONE TODAY. IT DOES TAKE TWO WEEKS AFTER TO GET FULLY IMMUNISED. YOU MAY AS WELL JUST GET IT DONE TODAY. WHY NOT? BOTH OF YOU WILL BE DOUBLE VAXXED I THE END OF TODAY. I AM ALREADY DOUBLE VAXXED. ONE OF THE EXCITING REASONS THAT I LIKE GETTING DOUBLE VAXXED ` IT SAYS ON MY LEFT DELTOID THAT I GOT THE PFIZER BIONTECH IN MY LEFT DELTOID, AND WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT WAS THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I HAD A DELTOID, LEFT OR RIGHT. EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING A PHOTO SAYING, LOOK I GOT VAXXED. I WAS SITTING THERE GOING, I HAVE GOT A DELTOID, GETTING A SELFIE. IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE THAT GOOD STUFF GOING IN THERE. TALKING ABOUT TRUSTING THE JAB, A LOT OF PEOPLE COME UP TO ME OR MESSAGE ME AND THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE VAX. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS ` I TRUST THE VAX. I TRUST THE NURSES AND DOCTORS THAT ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE GET THE VAX. I TRUST THE SCIENTISTS THAT HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE HUMAN RACE IN GETTING THE VAX. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SCARED AND WORRIED. I HAVE NOT SPENT ALL OF MY CAREER WORKING FOR AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND TO COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO PUT PEOPLE AT RISK. I SUPPORT THE VACCINATION. BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS THE BEST THING FOR ALL OF US TO DO. TENA KOE MY BROTHER. THAT WAS MY LITTLE SPEECH. WE ARE NOW GOING TO SEE AND TALK TO THE CEO OF ASB AT AUCKLAND AIRPORT. WELCOME BACK TO AIR NEW ZEALAND. WE ARE AT THE DOMESTIC AIRPORT IN TAMAKI MAKAURAU. THIS IS VICTORIA SHORT, ASB CEO. SHE IS HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW ASB IS GETTING INVOLVED IN SUPER SATURDAY. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS DONATING FIVE DOLLARS FOR EVERYONE WHO COMES ALONG TO GET THEIR FIRST JAB, AND THAT MONEY IS GOING TO ST JOHN, BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF OUR COVID FRONT LINE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET BEHIND THEM. HOW OTHER WHANAU OF ASB DOING? HOW IS EVERYONE? I THINK EVERYONE IS IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION. THEY ARE PART OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES, SO AND LOCKDOWN, WILL WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR PEOPLE GOT TO THE FRONT OF THE VACCINATION QUEUE SO THAT THEY COULD HELP PROTECT THEMSELVES AND KEEP OUR CUSTOMERS SAFE. THE OTHER THING WE'RE DOING IS GETTING OUR ARMS AROUND OUR SMALL BUSINESS CUSTOMERS. SOME OF THEM ARE DOING IT TOUGH. WE HAVE PROFESSIONALS COMING TO HOLD SESSIONS ON WELL-BEING WITH OUR SMALL BUSINESS CUSTOMERS. JUST GOT SOME TIPS ON HOW TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES AND A TIME THAT IS QUITE DIFFICULT. TALKING ABOUT VACCINATIONS, THAT IS THE BIG DRIVER. HERE IN TAMAKI MAKAURAU, WE HAVE A BIG JOB. WE ARE STILL IN PHASE 1 OF LEVEL 3. YOU ARE FULLY VAXXED? WHAT WOULD BE YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNSURE? WE HAD A FAMILY VACCINATION TRIP ` I TOOK THE KIDS AND THE HUSBAND ALONG. I DON'T LIKE NEEDLES I HAVE TO SAY. IT IS REALLY PAINLESS. IT WAS EASY, AND I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HOW WELL SET UP IT WAS. WE GOT OUR JAB IS DONE. IT HAS BEEN GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AND GIVING US SOME TIME TODAY. LOVELY TO MEET YOU. KA PAI. BACK TO YOU GUYS. WHOA, OK. AND WE HAVE GOT SOMETHING EXCITING COMING UP NOW. I DO KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT IT HAS BEEN AWESOME WORKING WITH MAIA HERE AS PART OF OUR PRESENTING TEAM. SHE IS ONE OF OUR GREAT ATHLETES. AND A PRETTY GOOD PRESENTER. SHE IS REALLY GOOD. ANNA, I HEAR THAT WE ARE CUTTING TO SOME COOL SPORTSPEOPLE? SPEAKING OF SPORTSPEOPLE, YES, WE WILL BE HEARING FROM THE BLACK FERNS. I GOT VACCINATED TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY. MAORI AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS, WHY ARE WE UP FIRST? YOU ARE EITHER GOING TO FEEL PRIVILEGED THAT WE GET TO GO FIRST, OR YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE A, WHY US? WE OTHER GUINEA PIGS? I CAN SEE HOW YOU WOULD LOOK AT IT EITHER WAY. WE HAVE BEEN SHAKE SAYING THAT WE SHOULD BE FIRST, WE ARE MORE AT RISK THAN NON MAORI. BECAUSE OF LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES. HAVE YOU HEARD OF OTHERS THAT HAVE GOTTEN MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS? THAT IS VERY RARE, ONLY FIVE AND 1 MILLION MIGHT HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION. PEOPLE HAVE MORE REACTIONS TO NUTS, OR EGGS. THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IS CALLED MRNA. THAT IS WHAT IS STIMULATING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO RESPOND. FIRST DOSE, AND THREE WEEKS LATER, GO FOR THE SECOND ONE. HOW COME THEY COULD NOT DO IT IN ONE? ONE DOSE IS PRETTY GOOD, BUT TO IS 95% EFFECTIVE. PREDICTING WHANAU IS WHAT WE DO. NAU MAI HOKI MAI. WE ARE HERE AND AVALON STUDIOS. THIS IS SUPER SHOT SATURDAY VAXATHON. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO NEXT ON THE MOTU? WE HAVE BEEN TO OTARA... WHERE ELSE ARE WE GOING? WE ARE GOING TO THE TOP OF THE NORTH ISLAND, WE ARE GOING TO KAITAIA TO CHECK IN ON HOW THEY ARE DOING UP THERE. HELLO. KIA ORA. YES, YES. KIA ORA. APOLOGIES, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. I'M SURE SHE WILL JOIN US BACK AND STUDIO FROM KAITAIA. NOW WE HAVE THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. MINISTER HIPKINS. HOW ARE YOU, GOOD TO SEE YOU. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TODAY? I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW PHOTOS TAKEN AT DIFFERENT VACCINATION SITES, DOING THE WHOLE SPREAD YOUR LEGS JOKE. ANYTHING FOR THE VACCINATION, HAVING A JOKE, IT'S A GOOD THING. WHAT OTHER FUNNIEST JOKES, AND THE MEMES? I HAVE SORT OF TUNED OUT OF IT NOW. I COULD NOT REALLY PASS JUDGEMENT. MY GREATEST CONCERN WAS, OH, TELETHON, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO GAGS, ACTIVITIES. SPREAD YOUR LEGS, SPLITS CHALLENGE? THE PROBLEM IS, ONE OF OUR CO-PRESENTERS, WE HAVE SPORTSPEOPLE I CAN'T EVEN DO ANY EXERCISE. I WAS A LITTLE BIT STRESSED, BUT HOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT HAVE TO DO SPLITS CHALLENGES. AS ANYONE HAD PUT THAT TO YOU BEFORE? WHEN WE STARTED THIS CONVERSATION, I STARTED TO GET NERVOUS. IT'S THE SPREAD YOUR LEGS... I'M KIDDING. WHY DID YOU GET VACCINATED? I GOT VACCINATED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT GET VACCINATED. I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS AT HOME, THEY CANNOT GET VACCINATED. WE WANT TO PROTECT THE TAMARIKI. EARLIER IN THE WEEK, I SPOKE TO SOMEONE WHO SHARED A PIE WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. YOU FORGOT THIS. THEY WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT. THESE GUYS WERE PUNISHING YOU WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT SPREAD YOUR LEGS. I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THAT, BECAUSE I LIKE YOU GETTING EMBARRASSED. KEEP GOING ON THAT STUFF. THEM ALL WE DO, THE MORE T-SHIRTS YOU GET. I HAVE LOTS OF T-SHIRTS TODAY. SUPER SATURDAY TSHIRT. IS THERE ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO IS VACCINE HESITANT, YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO, AND GET THEM OVER THE LINE? IT IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP QUITE REGULARLY, MOST OF IT IS BASED ON MISINFORMATION. THERE ARE PEOPLE SAYING I AM HAPPY TO BE VACCINATED, BUT I'M GOING TO WAIT AND SEE. I DON'T THINK THE RISK IS HIGH, SO I WILL WAIT AND SEE. MY MESSAGE TO THEM AS, ACTUALLY, YOU NEED TO DO IT NOW. THE RISK IS GOING TO GET HIGHER FROM HERE. THE SOONER YOU GET VACCINATED, THE SOONER YOU GET YOUR IMMUNITY. DO IT NOW. THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT THE SORT OF VACCINE, THE MRNA VACCINE. IT IS ONE OF THE SAFEST VACCINES YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE TALK TO SOMEONE ` A DOCTOR, NURSE, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IF THEY HAVE ANY APPREHENSIONS. I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING ` WHEN I GOT MY FIRST VACCINE, I GOT GIVEN A BAND. HE THOUGHT, AFTER YOU GET THE VACCINE, THERE IS A HYDRA SLIDE WAITING FOR YOU, WHEN THE POLLS ARE OPEN. I THOUGHT OF A BETTER IDEA, RATHER THAN GETTING RID OF THE BAND, IS THERE A HYDRA SLIDE WAITING FOR PEOPLE AFTER THEY GET THEIR FIRST VACCINE? I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. MAYBE THE POOLS COULD OPEN UP FOR PEOPLE WHO HAD THEIR FIRST SHOT TODAY. THAT AS MINISTER HIPKINS. I ALREADY THOUGHT HE WAS COOL AFTER HE SAID SPREAD YOUR LEGS. HE IS COOLER IN PERSON. WHAT IS PADDY UP TO? DON'T COME TO ME SO QUICKLY. ASK MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT SPREAD YOUR LEGS. I LOVE THE WAY THAT HE WAS GOING RED. IF YOU WANT TO ASK A FEW MORE QUESTIONS... I AM HERE WITH ZO. WHO IS IN YOUR BAND TODAY? REUBEN, AND ANNA. ARE YOU VAXXED? YES, I HAVE HAD BOTH. AND WHAT ABOUT YOU? I HAVE HAD ONE, AND I'M GETTING MY SECOND ONE TODAY. YOU WILL BE PART OF HISTORY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY FOR US NOW? A VAX SONG? IT IS A SONG CALLED ORIGAMI. ORIGAMI HAS NOTHING TO DO IT VACCINATION WHATSOEVER. IT IS TO DO WITH PAPER, AND IT IS A FORM OF ART. TAKE IT AWAY. # I HAVE A TENDENCY TO BE # A LITTLE SELF-DEPRECATING # IT'S ALWAYS BEEN # SO DEEP IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS # AND I'M CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT # I NEED TO GET ON TOP OF THAT # BUT IT'S LIKELY I'LL FORGET # AND GO BACK TO MY ROUTINE # WILL YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME? # LIKE ORIGAMI # IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WILL YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME # LIKE ORIGAMI # OH, I'VE MADE A HABIT # OF MAKING MY BED # DOING EVERYTHING BUT # MAKING AMENDS # DON'T YOU GET ME WRONG # I REALLY WANT TO WORK IT OUT # BUT I HAVE LEFT IT FOR TOO LONG # THAT IT'S BECOME AN ORDEAL # SO IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WILL YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME # LIKE ORIGAMI # IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WILL YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME # LIKE ORIGAMI # ME, MYSELF, AND # WE WILL TAKE THE TIME # TO UNDO # TO UNDO # HELP ME REDESIGN # DESIGN THE INTERIORS OF MY MIND # AND UNDO # UNDO # SO IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WILL YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME # LIKE ORIGAMI # IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WERE YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME # LIKE ORIGAMI # I'M TRYING, I'M TRYING, AND TRYING # OH, BELIEVE ME # IF I'M FOLDING MY ARMS # WERE YOU UNFOLD THEM FOR ME (SYNTH POP MUSIC PLAYS) (APPLAUSE) (SHAPESHIFTER'S 'MONARCH') (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) (SHAPESHIFTER'S 'MONARCH') (MUSIC CONTINUES) # I NEED YOU # TO SEE THROUGH # AND OPEN UP MY EYES. WELCOME BACK TO SUPER SHOT SATURDAY VAXATHON. I AM HERE WITH PADDY G AND ANNA. MATUA PADDY G. SHOW ME THE RESPECT THAT I DESERVE. I'M SORRY, BROTHER. WE ALL WANT TO GET BACK TO THE LIVE MUSIC, AND THAT IS WHY YOU GUYS WILL GET THAT SECOND VACCINATION AND PUNISH THOSE WEAK DELTOIDS. THIS IS PHENOMENAL! 81,080 TOTAL VAX COUNT, ON OUR WAY TO THE 100 K WHERE WE WANT TO BE. THAT AS A RECORD FOR MAORI VAX, WELL AND TRULY. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, BABY. SAMOANS ` 3,550! SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, COOK ISLANDS MAORI! I DIDN'T GET THE TOTAL, I WILL COME BACK TO THAT. HERE IS THE MAORI VAX UPDATE. WELL DONE, TOP TOWN. THIS IS AMAZING TO SEE 81,000. WE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS INTO AN EIGHT HOUR BROADCAST. THE AIM FOR TODAY WAS 100,000. I RECKON WE ARE STEAMING OUR WAY TOWARDS IT. WHAT I AM HOPING FOR IS THAT WE CAN SMASH PAST 100,000 AND GET 100% OF NEW ZEALANDERS VACCINATED, AND IF THAT HAPPENS, WE CAN WRAP UP AND GO HOME. IF WE GET A 100% TODAY, THAT IS NOT A BAD UPDATE. WOULD MY TIKTOK DANCE HAPPEN IN THAT SCENARIO? THAT IS MANDATORY. I LOOKED BEFORE ` CHRIS HIPKINS, IF HE WANTS TO JOIN IN... I KNOW THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF HEALTH HAS JOINED IN. WE DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO ASK THE PRIME MINISTER. BUT MAYBE CHRIS HIPKINS COULD JOIN IN WITH THE TIKTOK DANCE LATER. THAT IS AN ENTHUSIASTIC YES! SPREAD YOUR LEGS ON A TIKTOK! IT IS THAT SIMPLE. YOU CANNOT SEE HIM SAYING YES BEHIND THE MASK, BUT HE IS SAYING, 'YES!' (SPEAKS TE REO) KIA ORA RA. PROJECT MANAGER. COOPER MORRIS... ONE OF YOUR FELLAS' MANY FANGIRLS. DEEP SQUAT TOO. SPOT PRIZES, MONEY OR THE BAG, A CHANCE TO WIN UP TO $1000 FROM OUR KIND FRIENDS OVER AT TUKAU LEGACY CLOTHING. THAT WILL BE DRAWN TONIGHT AND HOPEFULLY GET ALL THE WHANAU DOWN HERE. EVERYONE JUST CALLS ME SHANA. (SPEAKS TE REO) WE ARE EXPECTING 500 WHANAU TO ARRIVE AT OUR VACCINATION STATION. WE HAVE THREE BUSES RUNNING, STARTING THROUGH MATAWAIA. MAKING THEIR WAYS FROM THE THREE DIFFERENT SPACES TO COLLECT WHANAU, TAKE THEM HERE TO VACCINATION STATION AND GET THEM ON BOARD. - WELL, I WONDER WHAT OUR FRIENDS DOWN IN THE SOUTH ISLAND ARE DOING AND ARE THEY ENJOYING THE SWEET TASTE OF PFIZER BIONTECH, THE SWEET TASTE OF THE VACCINE. THAT IS EVER LOOK AT WHAT OUR FRIENDS ARE DOING NOW. ONE SEVEN THREE MONTREAL STREET, WHERE WE ARE SEEING SOME WHANAU COMING TO THE VAXATHON. IT IS A MONUMENTAL DAY NOT ONLY FOR AUCKLAND BUT ALSO FOR AOTEAROA, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE THE MP FOR EAST OTAUTAHI, POTO WILLIAMS, WHAT IS THE MESSAGE WE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WHANAU, NOT JUST HERE BUT AROUND AOTEAROA? AS PACIFIC PEOPLE, OUR FAMILIES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO US, SO THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT OURSELVES BUT DOING IT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE WANT TO GET BACK TO DOING THE THINGS THAT WE LOVE TO DO, WORSHIP TOGETHER, SING TOGETHER, BE TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY, AND WE CAN DO THAT ONCE WE GET VACCINATED. THAT IS THE IMPORTANT MESSAGE TODAY FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, WHANAU. COME DOWN HERE TO E TU PASIFIKA, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE A TONGAN SPEAKER, YOU WILL HAVE TONGAN SPEAKING PEOPLE HELPING YOU, BUT ANY OTHER PACIFIC LANGUAGE, WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE YOU COVERED. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE LOOK AROUND, THESE ARE OUR PEOPLE. I ALSO WANT TO GET TO FAMILY BARBECUES. I MISS GATHERING WITH THE FAMILY FROM ALL OVER NEW ZEALAND. I MISS SINGING AND DANCING AND JUST BEING SILLY, BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT UNTIL WE GET FULLY VACCINATED, WHANAU. IF YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY AROUND YOU, DO RIGHT BY YOUR VILLAGE GETTING VACCINATED. E TU PASIFIKA, IF YOU HAVE MUM, DAD, NANA, PAPA, ANYONE WHO MIGHT NEED A RIDE, HOP IN THE CAR AND COME ON DOWN. HOPEFULLY SOME MUSIC SOON TOO. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU HERE. THANK YOU TO POTO WILLIAMS. KA KITE, WHANAU. - I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS THING WORKS. I WOULD RATHER UNDERSTAND HOW THE VACCINE WORKS THAN THIS THING. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM ONE OF OUR SPECIAL WARRIOR WOMEN. LUCY LAWLESS COMING FROM NEW YORK CITY TO YOU WHERE VACCINATION RATES ARE UP AND COVID DEATHS ARE DOWN. VACCINATIONS WORK. THIS IS A SHOUT OUT TO ALL NEW ZEALANDERS. PLEASE GET VACCINATED. WE CAN OPEN UP TO THE WORLD, VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS, PERHAPS OVERSEAS, JUST GET OUR BUSINESS IS UNDERWAY AND SUPPORT OUR DEAR DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO WILL HAVE TO WORK SO HARD. KIA ORA NEW ZEALAND. COME JOIN US. # IT'S NOT THE SAME WHEN YOU COME ROUND TO THE PARTY # WHEN YOU SHOW EVERYBODY YOUR NEW FACE # SUCH A SHAME (UPBEAT MUSIC) (MELLOW HIP-HOP MUSIC) KIA ORA, EVERYBODY. FEELING GREAT ABOUT THE HUGE NUMBERS OF VACCINATIONS. SOME ABSOLUTE GREAT KIWIS WITH SOME GREAT TUNES. WE ARE GOING TO 1 OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES. WE ARE GOING BACK TO PORIRUA. KIA ORA. YOUR FAVOURITE PEOPLE, PADDY. DON'T THEY LOOK STUNNING? I THINK IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE JUST COME FROM MAHI. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I SEE THAT YOU HAVE KAI. IT HAS JUST BEEN THROWN AT THEM. TELLS ABOUT THE VIBE? SUCH AN AWESOME DAY. PEOPLE ARE THROWING DONUTS... GIVING THIS TO US, AND SOME MANDARINS AS WELL. DIETARY BALANCE. A BIT OF JAM. SOME MELTED BUTTER. IT IS BUSTLING HERE. AND EVERYONE IS FAN GOING OVER YOU GUYS. HOW IS CASKETEERS GOING? WE ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR FIFTH SEASON. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, CASKETEERS TV SHOW, TANGIHANGA IS A HUGE PART OF COVID. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOUR WHANAU, AND TAMAKI MAKAURAU. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE ENORMITY OF THAT, AND FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE AND, SEEING WHANAU EXPERIENCE THAT GRIEF THIS IS WHY WE WANTED TO COME TODAY, TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GET VACCINATED. ANY DEATH IS SAD, BUT IF YOU DIE FROM COVID-19 IT IS UNNECESSARY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PUT THE MESSAGE OUT THERE. THE EFFECTS IT HAS ON WHANAU, AND ESPECIALLY IN AUCKLAND. WE ARE STILL ON LEVEL 3, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO HAVE FUNERALS, ONLY FOR 10 PEOPLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, THE LOGISTICS OF IT ALL, THE MENTAL STATE OF FAMILIES, IS NOT SOMETHING WE WANT TO GO THROUGH AGAIN. THE WHOLE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND A PROFESSION IS NOT US. WE WANT TO BE THERE FOR WHANAU. YOU ARE VERY WHANAU ORIENTATED. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR MAIN REASON TO TAUTOKO THE MESSAGE OF THE VAXATHON? I DID IT FOR MY WHANAU, ESPECIALLY MY TAMARIKI. I HAVE A SON WHO SUFFERS FROM RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. I WANTED TO PROTECT HIM FROM THAT. THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO DO IT FOR OUR PROFESSION. I LOVE WHAT I DO, AND I AM ABOUT KEEPING IT SAFE. AND ME TOO. WE MADE PHONE CALLS TO OUR OWN WHANAU, WE HAVE TO START ON OUR OWN BACKYARDS. THE NEPHEWS, NIECES, UNDIES, UNCLES ` HOW ARE YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE JUST HEARD THE MC SAY, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET VACCINATED, YOU MIGHT AS WELL MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH THE FUNERALS. A BIT SAVAGE, BUT TRUTH. LETS GET IT DONE, LET'S DO IT TOGETHER SO WE CAN GATHER, WE CAN HAVE FUNERALS, WEDDINGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. DO YOU KNOW ANY OF THE PERFORMING ACTS HERE TODAY? CAN YOU DO A LITTLE SIVA? NOT US EVER, BUT WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT OF PUKANA. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH. BACK TO THE STUDIO. THAT WAS GREAT, WE ALWAYS LOVE SEEING THE CASKETEERS. WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WE ARE I AM A MASSIVE FAN OF. COME IN ANNA. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE IN A PARK, OUT FOR YOUR WALK. I HAVE BROUGHT SOME HEADPHONES, THAT DON'T WORK. AND HAVING AN OUTDOOR CATCH UP WITH A FRIEND, AS PER THE RULES. OUR KIDS ARE PLAYING, HAVING A NICE TIME, IT IS SUCH A JOY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT OUTSIDE, AT LEAST, FOR NOW. JUST GETTING EXCITED ABOUT EVERYONE GETTING VACCINATED. IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE? IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. IT IS BUSY, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT. EVERYONE IS KEEPING THE DISTANCE MY GROUPS ARE 2 M APART. ANNA, SOMETHING I KNOW ABOUT YOU IS THAT OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE LOCKED DOWN IN AUCKLAND, BUT A LOT OF YOUR WHANAU ARE FROM RAGLAN, WHERE COVID 19 HAS REACHED OUT TO. TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR WHANAU WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE LOCKDOWN AREA, AS COVID-19 ARE SPREADING TO PLACES LIKE RAGLAN ON THE COAST? IT DEFINITELY GAVE ME A BIT OF A FRIGHT. MY PARENTS, MY PARTNER AND THEIR BABY LIVE OUT THERE, THEY ARE ALL VACCINATED, WHICH GAVE ME SOME RELIEF. A LOT OF MY WHANAU ARE DOWN IN TURANGI ALSO. HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL, BY THE LOOKS OF IT. FOR YOU, AS A LIVE PERFORMER, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WANT TO GET GIGS ON AS SOON AS YOU CAN. BACK THE NATION, WE ALL KNOW, IS THE WAY FORWARD. WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED WHO WANT TO SEE SOME GIGS? DEFINITELY. WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH AMAZING MUSIC COME OUT THIS YEAR, AND TO SEE ALL OF THAT ROLLOUT LIVE THE SUMMER WOULD BE SO AMAZING. A BALM FOR THE SOUL, TO BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER AND EXPERIENCE LIVE MUSIC. AND SEEMS CLEAR THAT VACCINATION IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WILL HAPPEN. I KNOW THAT ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE KEEN TO GET BACK ON STAGE. BALM FOR THE SOUL IS SUCH A GOOD TERM. IS THAT A POHUTUKAWA? I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS. ONE OF TANE MAHUTA'S VERY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. YOU WON'T BE SURPRISED THAT WE ARE FILLING IN EIGHT HOURS OF TV, I WILL NOT LET YOU OFF THE HOOK. WHAT ABOUT YOUR MASK? DID YOU MAKE THAT YOURSELF? I MADE IT MYSELF, AND THE VERY FIRST LOCKDOWN. ONE OF MY COPING MECHANISMS WAS SEWING MASKS. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SEWING, I HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE, BUT I MADE ABOUT 50, AND GAVE THEM TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. JUST KEEPING MY HANDS BUSY WAS VERY HELPFUL IN THE FIRST LOCKDOWN. ANNA, I HAVE HEARD THAT YOU ARE A BLACK BELT IN KARATE, WHICH IS AMAZING. HAVING YOU BEEN STAYING FIT IN THE LOCKDOWNS? I HAVE BEEN RUNNING, MORE THAN USUAL. IT REALLY HELPS WITH MY MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH HAS BEEN WAVY, LIKE IT HAS BEEN FOR ALL OF US. JUST DOING A LITTLE BIT OF STRENGTH TRAINING, PRESS UPS, SET UPS... OKAY, HONESTLY, I THINK WE WILL HAVE TO LET YOU GO WITH ALL OF THIS FITNESS TOUR, YOU HAVE LOST ME. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU LIVE AGAIN. THANK YOU, ANNA CODDINGTON. STAY SAFE, AND GET BACK TO THOSE KIDS. HERE IS A MOMENT, I NEVER THOUGHT, DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS? I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT. THIS WILL BE A BIG MOMENT FOR ME. I WATCHED A LOT OF TELEVISION IN MY CHILDHOOD, I WAS NOT AN OUTDOORS CHILD. WE ARE GOING TO MEET JASON GUNN IN CHRISTCHURCH. HOWDY. HERE IS JASE IN EASTGATE. COME DOWN AND SEE US. THIS IS EXCITING, JUST OVER MY SHOULDER AS A MAN BY THE NAME OF MARLON WILLIAMS. VERY CLEVER MAN, HE HAS BROUGHT HIS GUITAR. HE HAD DOES NOT NEED A VACCINATION BECAUSE HE HAS HAD TO ALREADY.

THAT IS THE FASTEST WAY FOR US TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. THE REASON I GOT VACCINATED AS MY MOTHER'S COMPROMISE, AND I COULD NOT WASTE NOT SPENDING ANOTHER DAY WITH HER. SO I GOT VACCINATED, AND NOW I CAN SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH MY MOTHER AS I WANT. ASKING YOU AGAIN TO GET VACCINATED, AND LET'S GET BACK TO NORMAL. HELLO MY FRIEND. KIA ORA, TALOFA. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE SUPER SATURDAY VACCINATION EVENT. I WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT, BUT I WILL BE THERE WITH YOU BECAUSE I NEED MY SECOND JAB TO. I AM NOT BIG ON NEEDLES, BUT WE ARE DOING IT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS ` THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. FOR ME, THAT INCLUDES MY PARENTS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF MY WHANAU WHO ALREADY HAVE READING DIFFICULTIES. *BREATHING DIFFICULTIES. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN MY BUBBLE FULLY TO FRIENDS AND WHANAU, TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM IN PUBLIC TO ALL THE TAMARIKI. IT WOULD BE NICE TO LEAVE AUCKLAND AND TRAVEL THROUGH NEW ZEALAND. IF WE ARE ALL VACCINATED, MAYBE WE CAN OPEN OUR BORDERS AND INVITE ALFANO FROM OVERSEAS. WOULDN'T THAT BE AMAZING? LET'S PUT A # SEE YA SEE YA LATER # TOGETHER AND SAY GOODBYE TO LOCKDOWN. SEE YA, SEE YA, COVID. WE HAVE THE OPTIMIST PRIME MINISTER, JACINDA ARDERN.

HE IS AN ACTUAL DJ. MY UNCLE IS ANTI VAX, BUT HE SAID HE WOULD GET THE VACCINE IF HE SAW JACINDA ARDERN ON THE DJ DECK. IT IS TRUE PRIME MINISTER. I WILL GIVE HIM A PHONE CALL.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE BEST THING IS THAT IS HAPPENING IN PORIRUA TODAY? IN CANON'S CREEK, THEY HAD A GROUP OF RANGATAHI WHO WERE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ` YOUNG PEOPLE WHO THEY KNOW IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY, AND IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE, BECAUSE JUST HAVING PEOPLE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ` THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING RIGHT NOW. THAT IS WHAT THIS AWESOME TEAM HERE IS ALL ABOUT. KIA ORA, TEAM. ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR THE PRIME MINISTER? NOT OF ME! I WANT TO KNOW FOR THE WORK SWEEPSTAKES, WHAT DO YOU RECKON WE WILL GET TOTAL VAXXED TODAY? I'M HOPING OVERALL THAT WE HIT 150,000. THE MOST THAT WE HAVE EVER DONE WAS ABOUT 93,000. SO THE FACT THAT WE JUST HIT 100,000 IS AMAZING. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN DO 150.

WHAT IS IT MEAN TO GET VACCINATED WHEN YOU HAVE YOUNG KIDS? IS THAT PART OF WHAT GETTING VACCINATED IS FOR YOU? IDENTIFY MY LITTLE ONE, MY FAMILY, MY TEAMMATES, AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DO THIS IF WE WANT TO GET BACK TO SOME SORT OF FREEDOM IN OUR LIVES. IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AFTER EVERYONE AROUND ME, IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM SAFE, I WAS KEEN TO GET VACCINATED. I HAVE A QUESTION, IT IS NOT OFTEN I AM SURROUNDED BY SUCH TALL TIMBER. IT IS GREAT TO HAVE TWO OF NEW ZEALAND'S BEST ATHLETES, I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ATHLETIC. ONE THING THAT I LEARNT FROM HAVING THE VACCINE, WAS THAT I HAD A LEFT DELTOID. WHEN YOU AWARE OF THESE THINGS CALLED DELTOIDS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT DELTOIDS ARE? YOU HAVE DELTOIDS, PADDY? I DEFINITELY HAVE THEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE AS BIG AS PADDY. WHO HAS THE BIGGEST DELTOIDS AND THE AB'S?> YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ADMIT TO POTENTIALLY HAVING SOME OF THE BIGGEST DELTOIDS. IF YOU WANT TO SHOW US YOUR LEFT DELTOID, FEEL FREE. I AM STILL LOOKING FOR MINE. MY OTHER TEAMMATES ON MIQ, SCOTTY BARRETT, HAS THE BIGGEST DELTOIDS. I WOULD SAY SO. THIS IS A PERSONAL QUESTION ` WE ARE BOTH PATRICK'S, AND WE DO GET THE NICKNAME, YOU HAVE GONE FOR THAT PATTY WITH THE TWO T'S. DO YOU GET ANNOYED IF PEOPLE GET IT WRONG?

IT IS KEEPING US SAFE, IT WILL HELP US TO GET BACK TO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. FOR SOME OF US, THAT IS PLAY RUGBY IN A FULL STADIUM. AND FOR OTHERS, IT IS ENJOYING THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE. LET'S GET THAT JAB. PATTY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON MIQ. I WILL GIVE YOU A FEW SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS TO DO. MAYBE YOU COULD SPEND SOME TIME SHAVING, AND COME OUT NICE AND CLEAN SHAVEN FOR THE FAMILY, AS WELL AS FULLY VACCINATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH, PATTY. WE WILL BE BACK AFTER THE BREAK. TALOFA LAVA AND KIA ORA. I AM COMING TO YOU FROM THE SET OF YOUNG ROCK ON THE GOLD COAST. SENDING MY SUPPORT FOR THOSE GETTING OUT GETTING A VACCINATION TODAY. I GOT VACCINATED, I HAVE A SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, LIKE HER MOTHER, SHE HAS ASTHMA. I WAS VERY GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO GET VACCINATED EARLIER THAN MY AGE GROUP, TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND WORK. FOR ME, IT WAS ABOUT PROTECTING HER, PROTECTING MY FAMILY. MY AIGA IS FOR GENERATIONS, FROM MY GRANDPARENTS, DOWN TO THE BABIES, IT WAS THE BEST DEFENCE. AND TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE. HERE TO TAUTOKO EVERYONE GETTING OUT THERE TODAY, AND GETTING VACCINATED. GOOD ON YOU, KEEP SAFE, AND WE WILL SEE YOU SOON. (CRICKETS CHIRP) (FLY BUZZES) THINKS: Hmmm... If I get hurt, who's gonna take Mia to karate? - Hah!
