ROOF. WE ARE GOING TO 1 OF MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE COUNTRY ` UP NORTH! WE ARE HERE AND AT... I WANT TO TAKE THE MASK OFF TO GET A BIT OF A BREATHER, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW WE ROLL. TO MY LEFT AND YOUR RIGHT... HE IS ONE OF THE POWER RANGERS AND ALSO A DOCTOR AT THE KAITAIA HOSPITAL. IS IT DREAMY? WE ARE CERTAINLY TRYING TO LIVE THE DREAM AND LIVE FOR A LONG TIME. TALK TO ME. WE ARE HERE AT THE CLUB, THE FIELDS, THE LANES ARE SET UP. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE TODAY? VACCINATING OUR WHANAU AND LOOKING AFTER OUR COMMUNITY. LET'S DO IT. IS THIS A GOOD TURNOUT FOR YOU? A LOT OF CARS IN TOWN. IT IS A 50-50 THING GOING ON. HOW DO WE GET EVERYONE ON BOARD? I TURNED UP HERE THIS MORNING. THE CAR PARK WAS FULL. THE LINE WAS OUT OF THE ROAD. WHAT I SAW WAS A LOT OF AUNTIE'S, NANNIES, WAHINE, ALL HERE GEARED UP AND READY TO LOOK AFTER PEOPLE, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE. THAT'S WHO WE HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED TO KEEP US HEALTHY AND SAFE, AND THEY WERE HERE WAITING. ROLLING THROUGH ALL DAY. IT HAS BEEN BUSY AS. I HATE ASK YOU WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD BUT I GUESS YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR SHORTCUTS. YOU HAVE TO GO ALONG WAY SOMETIMES. WHAT IS THE BEST MEDICINE TO HELP OUR WHANAU UNDERSTAND? IT IS ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION. IT IS ABOUT GOING TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER YOU AND WHO YOU HAVE TRUSTED WHO HAVE BROUGHT YOU UP AND RAISED YOU, WHO HAVE NURTURED YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE TODAY AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I HAVE A MATE OF MINE WHO IS A GP AND THEY HAVE HAD PATIENTS COME IN AND ASK THEM IS AT THE SAFE THING TO DO? AND SHE SAID LOOK I HAVE LOOKED AFTER YOU FOR 20 YEARS. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER. SO WHY WOULD I NOW RECOMMEND SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU? I KNOW YOU BEST AS YOUR GP. AND PEOPLE SAID YES LET'S GO. THERE IS A CONVERSATION OUT THERE, LOTS OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION, BUT IT IS NICE TO SEE A GOOD TURNOUT TODAY. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN NOW? NOW THAT WE HAVE MORE NUMBERS, DOES IT MEAN WE WILL START TO DECREASE THE RISK, INCREASING THE NUMBERS? IT HAS TO BE. EVERY EXTRA PERSON THAT IS VACCINATED, EVERY PERSONALITY WILL GET US CLOSER TO THAT POINT WHERE WE CAN KEEP OUR COMMUNITY AS SAFE AS WE CAN. EVERYONE WHO CAN GET VACCINATED SHOULD GET VACCINATED. THAT IS THE KEY. DON'T PUT A NUMBER ON IT. JUST GET IT DONE. LOOK AT THAT. THERE IT IS, PEOPLE. DR MCDREAMY. HE IS GORGEOUS. ISN'T HE GORGEOUS? WHO WOULDN'T LISTEN TO THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, DR. GOD, YOU'RE GORGEOUS. LOOK AT THAT. STAY SAFE, EVERYONE. WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.

NOW WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BREAK SO YOU GUYS CAN GO AND GET SOME KAI. I AM FILMING YOUNG ROCK. RANDY SAVAGE, YEAH. I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET VACCINATED AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME. I HAVE A THREE-YEAR-OLD AND A FIVE OLD BACK IN THE STATES AND THEY CANNOT BE VACCINATED CURRENTLY. ALL MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN VACCINATED TO CREATE A PROTECTIVE BUBBLE AROUND THE KIDS. WE HAVE LESS CHANCE OF SPREADING IT TO THEM THROUGH THE VACCINATION. LET'S THINK OF EVERYONE, IT IS A COMMUNITY THING. LET'S GET VACCINATED. HOO YEAH! (ALL SING IN TE REO) (PERFORM HAKA) (CHEERS, APPLAUSE) HOW GOOD WERE OUR RANGATAHI? HOW ARE YOU FEELING AFTER THAT? (SPEAKS TE REO) I HEAR THAT YOU ARE IN YOUR LAST YEAR OF KURA. HOW HAS THE LAST 18 MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC AFFECTED YOU? IT HAS BEEN A BUMPY YEAR DUE TO COVID-19 COMING BACK.

YOU GO ROUND THE CORNER, AND YOU WILL GET A SURPRISE PACK. THAT IS PRETTY AWESOME. WE HAVE THE ROTORUA MAYOR, WE WILL TALK TO HER SOON. WE ARE GETTING READY FOR OUR HULA-OFF. WHY IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS SO IMPORTANT? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SPECIFIC AREA FOR OUR PASIFIKA, MAORI WHANAU? I THINK ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS IS MAKING PEOPLE FEEL AT HOME. BY HAVING SPECIFIC PASIFIKA EVENTS, IT MEANS OUR WHANAU WILL SEE PEOPLE THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH. AND WHEN THEY COME IN, WE DO AT THE PACIFIKA WAY, WHICH IS WHANAU AND FOOD. WE HAVE THE HULA COMING UP. HOW WILL WE DO THIS? ALEXIS WILL SHOW YOU THE KEY MOVEMENTS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HIPS AND SWING THOSE HIPS. SIDE TO SIDE. SONNY, AND ALL THE WHANAU BACK IN THE HUB AR LOVING THIS. AND YOU DO IT FASTER AND FASTER WHEN THE MUSIC GETS FASTER. CAN YOU ZOOM IN ON OUR MAYOR? THERE WE GO. LET'S GO, LET SWING.

EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE HAVING DONE. I AM GETTING MY SECOND JAB DONE. I THOUGHT, WHY NOT COME OUT TODAY AND GET IT DONE ON TV. WHAT A SPECIAL TIME TO DO IT ON THIS HISTORIC DAY. HOW MUCH DO YOU MISS BEING IN A PLANE? THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GET VACCINATED, SO WE CAN GO PLACES. AND MAY HEAD I AM GOING TO TAHITI. WE NEED TO GET THIS JOB DONE. MY BROTHER HAS AN IMMUNE DEFICIENCY, SO THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS I AM HERE. HE CAN BE VACCINATED, IT HAS IMMUNITY WILL REDUCE OVER WEEKS, SO THE MORE OF US THAT ARE VACCINATED, THE BETTER OFF HE WILL BE. ALSO, SELFISHLY, I DON'T WANT TO GET SICK. TOOK US THROUGH YOUR FASHION CHOICES TODAY. YOU HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH I HAVE A SINGLET ON UNDERNEATH, I AM NOT GOING FULL STUART NASH. I AM GOING TO GET JAB ON MY LEFT ARM. WE WILL LET OUR VACCINATOR` THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING. I AM READY. LET'S GET PFIZER'D. AS EASY AS THIS. IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS, AND IT IS ALL DONE. THE REASON I HAVE BEEN DOUBLE VACCINATED AS FORM A BABY, MY TWO YEAR OLD. SAME AS RYAN, I WANT TO PROTECT HIM, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF I GET COVID, I KNOW THAT IT SEVERELY REDUCES YOUR RISK OF HAVING IT IN A SEVERE WAY. THAT MEANS THAT I CAN BE AROUND FOR HIM. HOW WAS THAT? IT WAS FINE, TOTALLY FINE. MY BROTHER IS ABOUT TO BE A DAD, SO IF I WANT TO GO AND SEE HIM, OR IF HE WANTS TO COME HERE, WE NEED TO GET VACCINATED. ACTUALLY, I DON'T OFTEN GET TO SIT IN THIS PART OF THE PLANE. I WILL JUST ENJOY IT BEFORE WE GET OFF. WE WILL SEE YOU ALL SOON. WELCOME BACK. YOUR FAVOURITE HOSTS ` THE GOOD-LOOKING ONES OUT OF THE BUNCH. WE HAVE HAD A BIT OF A WARDROBE CHANGE. WE ARE HERE WITH ALL THE ENERGY. LET'S SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE NUMBERS.

I HAVE A SPECIAL PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT. THIS BEAUTIFUL MURAL THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, REALLY. THE TYNDALL FOUNDATION HAVE KINDLY AGREED TO AUCTION OFF THE REAL DEAL LIVE SCRIBE MURAL CREATED BY ERINA AND HANNAH ON THE SET OF THIS SUPER SATURDAY VAXATHON, AND IT FEATURES SIGNATURES FROM ALL OF THE HOSTS. I HAVEN'T SIGNED THAT YET, SO IT IS A GOOD REMINDER. ALSO SIGNATURES FROM DR ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD, JACINDA ARDERN, MINISTER CHRIS HIPKINS AND OTHERS. IF YOU WANT TO OWN A PART OF NEW ZEALAND HISTORY, MAKE SURE YOU BID FOR THAT. JUMP ONTO TRADE ME AND SEARCHED THE REAL SUPER SATURDAY VAXATHON LIVE SCRIBE NEURAL. THAT IS ON TRADE ME. THE REAL SUPER SATURDAY VAXATHON LIVE SCRIBE MURAL. IT WILL BE AN HISTORIC BROADCAST, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CLASSIC. TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER CLASSIC, LET'S HEAD TO OTARA. NEIL WAKA HERE FROM OTARA, WHERE YOU CAN COMING TO YOUR VACCINATION AS PART OF THIS NATIONWIDE DRIVE TO BE AMAZING AND LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER. WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST WITH US TODAY. NANO GIRL, DR MICHELLE DICKINSON. APPRECIATE YOU COMING. YOU HAVE AN EXPERIMENT, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SOUNDIE. HE HAS NOT HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE. PUT TWO HANDS ON THAT! HOW MANY TIMES? MICHELLE, WHY ARE YOU HERE? WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT? I AM READY FOR MY SECOND VACCINE, SO I AM HERE FOR THAT. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE THE DECISION AND THEY UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MAGNET WITH YOU AS WELL. PROOF TESTING. SO WE CAN DEMYSTIFY THAT... I AM NOT A SCIENCE PERSON. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO HAVE PEOPLE VACCINATED, THEN? WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? WE ARE IN AN ERA WHERE SCIENCE IS MAKING THESE INCREDIBLE BREAKTHROUGHS SO WE KNOW THAT WE ARE LIVING LONGER BECAUSE OF SCIENCE. IT IS ALSO TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE. THE MORE THAT WE CAN GET VACCINATED, THE CLOSER I WILL BE ABLE TO GO AND SEE MY GRANDDAD. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE RESISTANCE OR RELUCTANCE? THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING BEHIND THIS. WE HAVE THOUSANDS VACCINATED TODAY. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE RELUCTANT? IT IS OKAYED TO BE RELUCTANT. YOU HAVE TO QUESTION THINGS. MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE ASKING THAT THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN THAT AREA. A LOT OF SCIENCE IS WRITTEN BY ACADEMICS BEHIND FIREWALLS. WE LEARN BY READING THESE PAPERS. HAVE A GREAT KORERO WITH SOMEONE WHO YOU TRUST TO GET SOME SCIENCE BEHIND IT. HAVE YOU HAD PEOPLE COME TO YOU ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF VACCINES? SO THAT WE FEEL SAFE THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION FOR US. DON'T LET ANYONE PUSH YOU IF YOU ARE NOT READY BUT ACTUALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION THAT HELPS YOU AND ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS. THERE ARE HEAPS OF QUESTIONS ` WHAT IS IN IT? WHAT WILL IT DO TO MY BODY? JUST HAVE CONVERSATIONS. MICHELLE, SOUND GUY TONY. WHY ARE YOU HOLDING AN ORANGE? I AM A VISUAL LEARNER, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE VIRUS HAVING SPY PROTEINS, SO I LIKE TO MAKE A MODEL SPIKE PROTEIN. PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MRNA, AND IT IS BASICALLY A SECRET MESSAGE THAT YOUR BODY NATURALLY PRODUCES EVERY DAY. IT TEACHES OUR BODY HOW TO MAKE ONE OF THESE SPIKE PROTEINS. THE VACCINE GOES INTO YOU AND TELLS YOUR CELLS... IT WILL HELP YOUR CELL TO MAKE ONE. YOUR BODY NEVER HAS TO BE EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS. RATHER THAN GIVE YOU COVID, YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM SAYS, HEY GET OUT OF HERE, AND THEN GETS RID OF IT. MRNA DOESN'T LAST LONG IN YOUR BODY, ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS. I LIKE TO SEE THINGS BY VISUALISING. IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE A VIRUS AT HOME, GET AN ORANGE AND SOME TOOTHPICKS AND TAPE. TO DISPEL ANOTHER MYTH, I AM DOUBLE VAXXED, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU ARE BECOMING A MAGNETIC SORT OF MAN, SO I WANT TO TEST THAT OUT. UNFORTUNATELY NOT. WHICH IS GOOD THAT YOU ARE NOT MAGNETIC. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE MAGNETIC WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF VACCINE IN THERE. YOUR MAGNET IS ON THE FLOOR. YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THIS MASSIVE QUEUE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME. GET DOUBLE VAXXED. OTARA CREW DOING THE HARD YARDS. GREAT TO SEE THEM DOING THE HARD MAHI. WE ARE BACK HERE AND AVALON STUDIOS. IT IS AWESOME TO HAVE HER WITH ME. SINCE SHE BROKE OUT IN 2017 WITH AN AMAZING TRACK. (SPEAKS TE REO) YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD A BUSY DAY TODAY. TWO GIGS. WERE PERFORMED AT THE POPUP AND THEY HAD A GOOD TURNOUT FOR THE VACCINATIONS. YOU ARE STILL BUSY, YOU HAVE BEEN GIGGING A LOT BUT YOU ARE HOPEFULLY MAKING MUSIC. I WANT TO PURCHASE MORE OF YOUR MUSIC. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT GOING ON? A TOUR COMING UP, HOPEFULLY IN THE MIX, AND SOME NEW SONGS COMING UP REAL SOON. YOU HAVE A TOUR COMING UP AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE SUPPORT THIS VACCINATION KAUPAPA. SO THAT YOU CAN SEE SIANNE PERFORMING LIVE. I WILL BE SINGING AZALEA, A SONG FOR MY DAUGHTER. HERE IS SIANNE AND HER WAIATA, AZALEA!

LET'S TAKE YOU BACK TO TAMAKI. KIA ORA, GUYS. WE ARE AT AUCKLAND AIRPORT. YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE AT THE TOP, GOING ONTO THE PLANE INTO BUSINESS CLASS TO GET THEIR VACCINATION. DOWN HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE ONE, THE ONLY, ROBYN MALCOLM. HAVE YOU HAD YOUR VACCINATION? I DID. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET TO JABS IN AMERICA, WHEN I WAS WORKING THERE EARLIER IN THE YEAR. THE DAY I ARRIVED I RANG UP AND SAID CAN I COME AND GET JAB? I GOT THAT ONE, AND THEN I GOT THE SECOND ONE TWO AND A HALF, THREE WEEKS LATER, NO SIDE EFFECTS, EXCEPT I HAD A BAD HANGOVER, WHICH I TRIED TO BLAME ON THE VACCINATION, BUT NO ONE LISTENED. WE RECOMMEND VACCINATION, BUT NOT TEQUILA. NOT ONLY WERE YOU LUCKY TO GET THE VACCINATION IN THE STATES, BUT ALSO TRAVEL. HOW MUCH DO YOU MISS TRAVELLING? IT IS TRICKY, BECAUSE A LOT OF MY WORK INVOLVES TRAVEL. I HAVE BEEN OVERSEAS A LOT, AND THAT HAS STOPPED OF LATE, WHICH HAS BEEN TOUGH. I THINK IT IS GREAT FOR OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE MORTGAGE. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC BEING HERE, AND SEEING HOW NEW ZEALAND HAS WRAPPED AROUND THIS CRISIS. I AM PROUD TO BE HAD, I THINK WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. I TELL OF MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY TRY TO TELL US HOW TO DO IT, AND I SAY, WE ARE LEADING YOU GUYS. I FEEL LIKE WITH THE VACCINE WE ARE, AS WELL. THIS IS A SHOUT OUT TO WEST AUCKLAND. WE KNOW THAT YOU OTHER PARTY ANIMALS OF AUCKLAND. AT ANY OF YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE VACCINE, LET ME TELL YOU, IT IS JUST FINE. THE MINUTE YOU DO THAT, YOU CAN GET BACK TO THE RUM AND COKE. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU. HOW EXCITING THAT IF WE GET THESE VACCINATION RATES UP, WE WILL BE ABLE TO PARTY AGAIN, WE CAN TRAVEL AGAIN. AND JUST BE AMONGST PEOPLE AGAIN. I REALLY MISS SEEING FACES. AND WE ARE A HUGGY COUNTRY. I MISS HUGGING. WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE NOW, YOU HAVE TO GO, WHOA! I CAN'T TOUCH YOU. THAT IS WHAT TODAY IS ALL ABOUT, LOTS MORE HUGS, WHEN THOSE VACCINATION NUMBERS ARE UP. IT WON'T BE TOO LONG AND THERE WILL BE HUGS ALL AROUND. HUGGING ALL AROUND. THE WONDERFUL ROBYN MALCOLM. PLEASE STAY WITH US, ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GET VACCINATED. WE WILL BE HERE UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK. THERE ARE VACCINE CENTRES OPEN UNTIL THAT TIME AS WELL. IT IS A TUNE FROM KING KAPISI. ENCOURAGING YOU ALL TO GO AND GET YOUR VACCINATION. IT'S NOT SCARY, IT DOESN'T HURT. I WAS FULLY VACCINATED FOR MY WHANAU, TO ENSURE THAT I REDUCE THE RISK OF SPREADING COVID-19. JUMP IN THE WAKA, GET IT DONE. (UPBEAT MUSIC) WELCOME BACK TO SUPER SHOT SATURDAY VAXATHON.

WHAT IS SOMETHING IN YOUR JAB JOURNEY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE? FOR ME, BEING A REPORTER FOR MAORI NEWS IS THE BIGGEST REASON AS TO WHY OUR GOT MY VACCINE. THAT IS BECAUSE I AM GOING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY A LOT, I AM INTERACTING WITH MAORI, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE UNDER A BOWL TO THIS VIRUS. I KNEW THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT THE VACCINE, SO I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS AT. THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS BUT I AM HAPPY THAT I AM HERE. MY MUM IS ON ONE OF THE SMALLER TOWNS, THEY ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON EDGE ABOUT GOING OUT AND GETTING THE VACCINATION, SO SHUT OUT TO MUM. I GOT LOTS OF FAMILY BACK HOME IN WHANGANUI, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT VACCINATED DOWN THERE, SO HOPEFULLY THIS CAN INSPIRE THEM. TO HAVE ANY LAST LITTLE BOOSTER MESSAGES TO GIVE? I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT THIS, I THINK IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING OUR WHANAU. IF THAT'S IN YOUR HEART, GO OUT AND DO IT. I'M BACK HERE AT THE BEAUTIFUL MURAL THAT IS BEING AUCTIONED ON TRADE ME. IF YOU WANT TO BE IN ON THIS ACTION, WE HAVE WHAEA CINDY. IT'S GOING TO GO TO A MASSIVE CAUSE, SO GET IN AMONGST IT.

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOUR COMPANY FOR AN HISTORIC DAY FOR NEW ZEALAND. GO OUT AND GET YOUR COVID-19 VACCINATION. LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE UPDATED NUMBERS FROM EVERYBODY IN AOTEAROA. NEARLY 120,000 TOTAL VACCINATIONS TODAY. THAT WAS AT 4.30, SO THEY COULD HAVE CREPT UP AS WELL. THE MAORI TOTAL IS GETTING UP OVER 20,000. REMEMBER WE MOVED OUR TARGET TO 150,000. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. YOU CAN STILL GET VACCINATED UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. JUST CHECK OUT YOUR NATAL DHBS IN YOUR LOCAL VACCINATION CENTRES. MANY OF THEM WILL BE OPEN UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND HAVE A LOOK AT ALL THE CENTRES THAT ARE GOING TO BE OPEN UNTIL 8. WE MAY HAVE HIT YOUR 150,000 OR CLOSE TO IT, BUT WE WANT TO GET TO 200,000 SO I CAN WIN THE SWEEPSTAKE.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. CAN WE GET 150,000. IT'S AMAZING HOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT PANDEMIC, WRAPPING THAT LOVE AROUND EVERYONE. IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT WE OVERACHIEVERS. WHAT WE NEED THOUGH IS MORE FIRST DOSES. WE STILL HAVE HOURS OF THE DAY LEFT, SO IF THERE ARE PEOPLE YOU KNOW WHO ARE STILL A BIT HESITANT, TALK TO THEM. THERE ARE LOADS OF PLACES THAT ARE GOING TO BE "LATE. GET THEM ALONG FOR THE FIRST DOSE. IF PEOPLE ARE STILL RELUCTANT, THEY CAN GET MORE INFORMATION. REMEMBER, IF YOU MISSED TODAY. THERE IS STILL TOMORROW. THERE IS STILL MONDAY. THERE ARE STILL TUESDAY. THERE IS ALWAYS TIME. REMEMBER, PEOPLE NEED TO DOSES AND THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SECOND DOSE, SO REALLY IT IS LIKE FIVE WEEKS BEFORE YOU ARE FULLY PROTECTED. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING INTO THIS DREAM LINER TO GET THE VACCINATION, WHICH IS FANTASTIC. THAT IS A REAL MARK OF FREEDOM, ISN'T IT? WE KNOW THAT THE VACCINES ARE THE WAY TOWARD FREEDOM. THEY ARE THE WAY THAT WE PROTECT OURSELVES AND EVERYONE WE LOVE AND CARE FOR. IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOWEVER WHAT HAS GOTTEN ON-BOARD ` NOT JUST PEOPLE, BUSINESSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE MADE A SPECIAL SONG ABOUT THIS? YES, I HAVE WRITTEN A VERY SPECIAL SONG. I'VE USED EXACTLY THE SAME TUNE AS A VIRAL SONG FROM LAST LOCKDOWN, I WROTE IT ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AGO SO I HOPE I REMEMBER THE LYRICS.

CAN I SAY YOU ARE DEFINITELY THE MOST STYLISH PERSON I HAVE SEEN HERE TODAY. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GET VACCINATED TODAY? I DECIDED TO GET MAX NEEDED TO PROTECT MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, MY COMMUNITY, AND I DECIDED TO DO IT FOR THE COUNTRY THAT I LOVE, AOTEAROA. I KNOW YOU HAD A FEW QUESTIONS TURNING UP HERE TODAY, DID YOU FEEL LIKE THEY WERE ANSWERED? YES, I FELT LIKE THEY WERE ANSWERED. THERE WAS AT Q AND A ON WHY TO GET VACCINATED. A LOT OF EXPERTS WERE PRESENT. SO LOTS OF QUESTIONS, LOTS OF GOOD ANSWERS, AND I'VE GOT SOME NICE NEWS FOR YOU. WE ARE GOING TO SPIN THE WHEEL OF IMMUNITY FOR YOU NOW. SO YOU WILL BE WALKING AWAY AWARE THAT IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE TODAY. LET'S GET YOU SOMETHING GOOD. WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE? $500 CASH. ALL YOURS. GET VACCINATED! YOU GET $500.

I THINK I SHOULD KEEP MOTELS TO THE SPORTING FIELD. I WAS HAVING A BIT OF A DANCE OF THE BACKGROUND. I COULD FEEL THE ENERGY JUST COMING THROUGH, SO MAYBE A BACKUP DANCER I COULD DO. WE WILL BE JOINED BY ANOTHER SPECIAL GUEST, IF YOU'VE EVER WATCHED OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE. IT IS THE MOST AMAZING EVENT, SO I AM SO PLEASED THAT I CAN BE PART OF IT. IT IS SO LOVELY TO HAVE YOU WITH US. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? I HEARD THAT YOU HAD YOUR VACCINE WHILE YOU ARE PREGNANT. YES, THAT IS RIGHT. I AM DOUBLE VACCINATED NOW AND I GOT MY FIRST VACCINATION WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY BABY GUS. I FELT REALLY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VACCINE WHEN I DID. I WAS IN GROUP 3, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET A BIT EARLIER THAN OTHER PEOPLE. I JUST THOUGHT HOW LUCKY I WAS TO HAVE A VACCINE AND IT WILL PROTECT ME AND MY BABY. I HAD MY FIRST ONE WHEN I WAS PREGNANT AND I HAD MY SECOND ONE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME THAT YOU ACTUALLY STARTED YOUR CAREER RIGHT HERE IN AVALON STUDIOS. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE BACK IN SOME CAPACITY? IT IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES AT AVALON STUDIOS. I WORKED THERE WHEN I WAS 17, PRESENTING THE KIDS SHOW WNTV. I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. I WISH I COULD BE THERE IN PERSON, BUT THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU ARE IN AUCKLAND. YOU ARE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. HOW ARE YOU FEELING? I'M DOING WELL. HAVING A BABY IS A BIT LIKE BEING IN LOCKDOWN ANYWAY. WE'RE GOING OK, BUT OBVIOUSLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THOSE VACCINATION NUMBERS UP SO THAT WE CAN OPEN UP FOR MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MEET GUS YET, WHICH IS SAD. WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERYONE GETTING VACCINATED, AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, SO WE CAN SEE OUR PRESENT FAMILY AS IT IS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BE THE VIRUS AND GET BACK TO SOME SORT OF NORMALITY. I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HANGING IN THERE. GET VACCINATED IF YOU CAN. IT'S NOT A TEAM. THE BEST team. I WAS GETTING 100 MESSAGES SAYING, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK? I'VE GOT SOMETHING BIG THAT I WANT TO DO. IT'S A BIT LIKE THE OSCARS. COULD YOU PASS ME THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE?

THE VACCINATION PLACES ARE STILL OPEN INTO LATE TONIGHT. AT YOUR FINISHING WORK, OR YOU'RE TAKING YOUR KIDS OUT AFTERWORDS... THIS WILL BE CLOSING UP SOON SO WE WILL BE SAYING GOODBYE TO IT SHORTLY.

HERE IS UNEVEN AND NEVER THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN. WE ARE GOING TO DO A TIKTOK DANCE. WE HAVEN'T DONE AS MUCH PRACTICE AS I THOUGHT WE WOULD BECAUSE WE HAD TO TALK FOR A LOT. THERE WAS A LOT OF PRACTICE IN BETWEEN. ALL I CAN SAY, WITH ANYONE GETTING VACCINATED, THIS IS ALL I CAN DO. WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER CHICKENED OUT OF DJING, I KNEW THAT HAD TO DO IT. (GROOVY MUSIC PLAYS) VERY GOOD! VIRAL! WHANAU, WHAT WAS IT LIKE? WHAT WAS IT LIKE, THAT TIKTOK? YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD DANCER (!) YOU SHOULD GET A PROFESSIONAL DANCING (!)

IT'S AWESOME. OVER 21,000 MAORI VACCINATIONS. WE HAVE TWO MINUTES UNTIL WE DITCH CHANNEL 3. THE TOP TOWN IS RAKAIA! THE DEEP SOUTH DOWN THERE, THEY REALLY GOT OUT. LISTEN, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY, WHILE WE HAD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TIME, TO APOLOGISE TO THE PEOPLE OF AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND FOR THE TIKTOK. I AM REALLY QUITE SORRY. I DID IT FOR THE VACCINATIONS. THE GOOD THING IS YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE WITH THEM TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BROADCASTING CAREER, AS YOU HAVE JUST DEMONSTRATED. I'VE REALLY BEEN LEARNING FROM YOU. I'VE TAKEN THE LACK OF RHYTHM ON BOARD AS WELL. THAT IS WHY IT WAS SO BAD A THING AS WELL. I DID NOT KNOW I HAD A LEFT DELTOID UNTIL THEY HAD PFIZER INJECTED AND IT. I ALSO DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD RHYTHM, AND A BRITISH ARE STILL DON'T. YOU HAVE ABOUT 3000 FOLLOWERS ON TIKTOK. YOU'LL GROW IT. I AM BUILDING. WHO WANTS TO DO IT AGAIN? YOU WANT TO DO IT AGAIN SOLO, DID YOU SAY? NOT SOLO! OK, 30 SECONDS. (GROOVY MUSIC PLAYS) WE HAVE TO GO TO THE NEWS, I AM REALLY SORRY. NEWSHUB IS COMING UP ON THREE. IT IS GOING TO SAVE ME.

WE SAW WHO WAS MAKING THEM, AND NOW WE ARE HANGING THEM OUT THREE PEOPLE IN THE WAKA. HANDING OUT THE HANGI. THANK YOU. BEFORE YOU GO, COME AROUND. HOW WAS THAT E HOA MA? THAT WAS MEAN. WHY DID YOU COME TODAY? BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE MY KIDS UNLESS I GET VACCINATED. MY SON HAS A LOT OF COMPLICATIONS, SO WE'VE GOT TO KEEP ALL THE BUGS AWAY FROM HIM. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ALL THE WHANAU COMING THROUGH? YES, WE ARE BRINGING ANOTHER CARLOAD THROUGH TOMORROW. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. THEY COME THROUGH, THEY DRIVE THROUGH THERE, THEY GO OVER THERE AND GET THEIR VACCINATIONS, THEY HAVE THEIR TIME. AND THEN, THEY COME THROUGH` SORRY, MY MASK IS PLAYING UP ` AT THEY COME THROUGH AND COLLECT ALL OF THESE HANGIS. MATUA, HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU THINK YOU GAVE OUT TODAY? 450. PEOPLE KEEP COMING THROUGH, IT'S AWESOME. THIS IS THE CHAIRMAN. HOW IS IT FOR YOU, UNCLE? THE WHOLE KAUPAPA, HOW'S IT BEEN? IT'S BEEN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO DO WELL AND WE HAVE TO DO BETTER, BUT THE SUPER SATURDAY HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS, IT'S BEEN A GREAT IDEA. EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN BEHIND IT. TWO MORE DAYS, TOMORROW AND MONDAY HERE, SO THAT IS FANTASTIC. WE WERE JUST SEEING THAT OVER 400 HANGIS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED. BUT YOU HAVE NO PREJUDICE, RIGHT? IF THERE ARE OTHER WHANAU IN THE WAKA, YOU FEED THEM? IF YOU COME ALONG, WE HAVE HANGI AVAILABLE. WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT ONE VACCINATION EQUALS ONE HANGI, BUT OF COURSE NO ONE WILL MISS OUT. AN INCREDIBLE WHANAU HERE. THEY ARE OPEN APOPO. YOU CAN COME IN APOPO. GET ON THE WAKA. 10 O'CLOCK TOMORROW, AND THEN 12 TO 6 ON MONDAY. TENA KOUTOU. THAT HANGI LOOKED AWESOME. I FEEL LIKE SIX HOURS INTO THIS TELETHON, ALL FOOD LOOKS AWESOME, BUT PARTICULARLY THAT. IT IS THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD BECAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO MAKE. HANGI IT IS ONLY GOOD BECAUSE YOU WAIT SO LONG FOR IT THAT YOU ARE LITERALLY STARVING, AND THEN YOU ARE LIKE OMG KAI. WHERE ARE WE GOING NEXT? PAPAKURA MARAE. TENA KOUTOU,. TENA KOE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE, HAVE YOU? I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT'S QUITE UPLIFTING. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC. YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BUT THE LINE IS ALL THE WAY UP THE ROAD, AND APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT ALL DAY. THAT'S A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS DAYS. PAPAKURA, URS PRESENTING TODAY. APPARENTLY THERE'S A BIT OF A COMPETITION, SOME STATS, AROUND SOUTH AUCKLAND. PAPAKURA IS GETTING IT INTO TOUCH. THEY'VE GOT YOU AND I HEAR TODAY IS A STAB TO GET THE LAST PART OF THE DISTANCE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAY WHANAU SAID IS DON'T SAYING, AND DON'T TELL JOKES, AND I SAID IT'S ALL GOOD BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HERE, AND YOU WILL FILL IN THE GAPS. I'M A WESTIE, AND I WAS VISITING OTHER WHANAU TODAY, AND IT'S SO NICE TO SEE EVERYONE ON THE FRONT LINE. THERE IS SUCH ATMOSPHERE, THERE IS MUSIC, THERE'S FOOD. EVERYONE SO FRIENDLY. EVERYONE IS WEARING BEAUTIFUL COLOURFUL CLOTHES. WHAT WE'RE HEARING TODAY IS, FIRST DOSE IS HERE TODAY IN THE THOUSANDS. KA HOKI MAI ANO. KIA ORA E TE IWI, I'VE JUST FOUND SOMETHING OUT, THE BED FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL MURAL IS AT $10,000. THAT'S RIGHT, E TE IWI, THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART OVER THERE WITH MY FACE NEXT TO JUSTIN DES, IS WORTH $10,000. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANYTHING I DID WOULD BE WORTH $10,000. IT'S JUST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK. I THINK THAT'S AMAZING, ESPECIALLY SEEING THIS BE DRAWN OVER THE SIX HOURS THAT WE BEEN HERE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE LIVE ARTISTS, THEY ARE AMAZING. IF I TRY TO DRAW ANYTHING IT WOULD NOT LOOK NEARLY AS BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE HEADING DOWN TO ANOTHER HOME TOWN OF MINE, DUNEDIN. WE ARE IN THE MERIDIAN MALL. I GOT VACCINATED FOR LOTS OF REASONS. ONE OF THEM IS FOR THE PEOPLE IN MY WORKSPACE. I WORK WITH IDEA SERVICES. I WORK WITH THE DISABLED COMMUNITY, AND THEY ARE VERY VULNERABLE. IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT THEM. I AM FROM THE DISABLED PERSON'S ASSEMBLY. I WOULD BE AT HIGHER RISK, GIVEN THAT I HAVE CEREBRAL PALSY, AND MY DISABILITY. I WANTED TO KEEP MYSELF SAFE, I WANTED TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE, AND THAT'S WHY I GOT VACCINATED. I EXPERIENCED A LOT OF ANXIETY AROUND GOING INTO GET MY VACCINATION, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS OR AN ALLERGIC REACTION, BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS OCCURRED AND I WAS FINE. EVERYONE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND I WAS FINE. I GOT VACCINATED FOR MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SHE CAN'T GET VACCINATED YET. AT THE ALSO EMPOWERING TO BE A PART OF HISTORY LIKE THIS.. WE HEAR STORIES LIKE OUR GRANDPARENTS WITH THE POLIO EPIDEMIC. THEY WERE PART OF HISTORY, AND NOW WE GET TO BE PART OF IT OURSELVES. BECAUSE OF MY AGE, I CAN HAVE RESPIRATORY ISSUES. I WORK WITH A VULNERABLE POPULATION, THEY ARE WORKING VERY HARD, AND I NEED YOU TO GET VACCINATED FOR THEM, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT FOR YOURSELF, DO IT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, AND KEEP YOUR COMMUNITY SAFE. GO DO IT, NEW ZEALAND. WE ARE HERE NEXT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL MURAL, AT THE MOMENT THE AUCTION IS AT $10,000. I'M ABOUT TO POTENTIALLY DEVALUE IT BY PUTTING MY SIGNATURE ON IT. MAYBE IT WILL ADD A DOLLAR MORE VALUE. WE HAVE SOME MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT SIGNATURES ON THEIR. PRIME MINISTER, ACTRESSES, AND ALL THE WORK OF OUR BEAUTIFUL ARTISTS. I'M GOING TO QUICKLY POP MY VERY ARTISTIC SIGNATURE ON THIS MURAL. A COUPLE OF REALLY SIMPLE REASONS WHY I HAVE HAD THE VACCINE. I AM DOUBLE JAB. BEST OF ALL, I HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION, SO IF I GOT COVID, IT IS VERY LIKELY I WOULD END UP IN HOSPITAL. BUT I AM ALSO DOING IT FOR THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN OUR SOCIETY. THE UNDER 12'S, AND THE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT GET VACCINATED. BUT I ALSO WANT TO DO IT FOR MY FRIENDS, WHO ARE SO STRESSED. THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO TO REDUCE THAT STRESS. YOU ARE SITTING ON THE FENCE AND YOU ARE WAITING, JUST GO AND GET IT DONE NOW. WELCOME BACK TO SUPER SHOT SATURDAY. IT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CREW TAGGING BACK IN. WE ONLY HAVE AN HOUR OR SO TO GO. I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE IT HAS GONE BY SO FAST, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO CRACK INTO IT. BEFORE WE DO THAT, A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THE BUSINESSES THE CROWD AOTEAROA A SPECIAL MENTION TO WELLINGTON AIRPORT WHO ARE GIVING AWAY $5000 AMAZING STUFF. DON'T FORGET, IF YOU ARE STILL LOOKING TO GET YOUR VACCINATION, YOU CAN DO THAT UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK IN SOME PLACES. HEAD ONLINE TO FIND LOCATIONS THAT ARE OPEN LATE TONIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS, WHEN YOUR DHB. AN UPDATE ON OUR NUMBERS. MAORI ARE DOING QUITE WELL. LOOK AT THOSE FIRST VACCINATION NUMBERS. THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT NUMBERS AT JUST UNDER 38,000. AND TO SEE THOSE HIGH NUMBERS OF GENERAL POPULATION AND MAORI. IT IS JUST AWESOME TO SEE ALFANO GETTING OUT AMONGST THE VACCINATIONS. GET TO THOSE CENTRES. THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE CLOSING SOON BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME THAT OPEN UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK. ALSO A MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO INVESTMENT GROUP JARDEN WHO ARE DONATING TO COMMUNITY GROUPS. WE ARE NOW GOING TO HEAD TO ROTORUA TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE UP TO. I HAVE COME FROM TAURANGA. I AM HERE IN ROTORUA TO JOIN MY GUEST AT A VACCINATION CENTRE. HOW'S IT GOING? IT IS GOING GREAT, ACTUALLY. I WAS ONE OF MANY WHO WORK HERE. WE WERE RETRAINED AND REDEPLOYED TO WORK ON THESE CENTRES. YOU WORK WITH RANGATAHI AS WELL. THERE HAS BEEN A BIG PUSH FOR RANGATAHI TO COME AND GET VACCINATED. WE HAVE SEEN LOTS OF YOUNG FACES. IT HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITED TO SEE RANGATAHI, ESPECIALLY OUR TEENAGERS COMING THROUGH WITH THEIR PARENTS. IT HAS BEEN A REALLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. ONE THING IS THAT WE HAD LOTS OF RANGATAHI STAFF WORKING AS WELL, LIKE MEDICAL STUDENTS. IT HAS BEEN A BIG PUSH BY THE IWI. WHAT HAS THAT BEEN LIKE? IT'S THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. YOU CAN WHAKAPAPA WITH ALL OF THE STAFF HERE. I THINK IT IS REALLY REASSURING FOR WHANAU WHEN THEY DO COME THROUGH WHEN YOU CAN RECOGNISE THEIR LAST NAME AND FINDERS CONNECTIONS TO THEM. IT JUST PROVIDES THAT CERTAINTY AND REASSURANCE WHEN THEY COME THROUGH. IT IS AN AMAZING FEELING. I SEE THE HANGI BEEN GIVEN AWAY TO THE WHANAU. HOW CAN WE DRAW IN MORE MAORI? WE CAN REDUCE THE BARRIERS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? IT MEANS INCREASING TRANSPORT, SO WE HAVE HAD FREE TRANSPORT COMING HERE. MAKING TIMES MORE AVAILABLE WHEN RANGATAHI CAN COME HERE. REDUCING MISSING INFORMATION, SO SHARING INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN FROM OUR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND EXPERTS. THOSE THINGS REDUCE VACCINE HESITANCY AMONGST RANGATAHI. YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS THAT ARE A HERE FRIENDLY MOST OF ALL. YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE WITH THEM IN THE WAY THAT THEY WANT TO BE ENGAGED. ENGAGE MORE WITH RANGATAHI ` WE HAVE FREE TRANSPORT, FREE KAI. , DOWN, GET VACCINATED. WE ARE NOW JOINED BY DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF HEALTH DR ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD. DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING TO PRINT ABOUT ME? I AM STILL WEARING THE EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT I WAS WEARING EARLIER. IT IS VERY DRAMATIC. I'VE HAD ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT SHIRTS. YOU ARE GOING TO SIGN YOUR NAME ON THIS AMAZING NEURAL THAT IS BEING AUCTIONED OFF ON TRADE ME. I WILL LET YOU GET SET UP. IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S HEAD OUT TO PORIRUA. KIA ORA AOTEAROA. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. HOW HE FOUND TODAY? I FOUND TODAY REALLY AWESOME. WE ARE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE LEADERSHIP AND PLANNING AND ORGANISING AND EXECUTING A WONDERFUL EVENT FOR ALL OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN PORIRUA. RUN BY YOU, FOR YOUTH. WHAT ROLE DID YOU PLAY BRINGING ALL THIS TOGETHER? I WAS PART OF THE WORKING GROUP. THERE WAS A YOUTH COHORT. I WAS ONE OF THE CO-LEADS OF THAT. FROM A YOUTH PERSPECTIVE, I'M READY GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE AND TRUSTED WITH THIS. I WOULD DIFFERENTLY SAY IT IS A SUCCESS. BEING RUN BY YOUTH IS WHAT HAS MADE IT SUCH A SUCCESS. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS? WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH, ONLY BECAUSE WE GOT THE DATA THAT OVER 1000 YOUNG PEOPLE HAD NOT BEEN VACCINATED AT OUR HOTSPOTS. THAT IS WHY WE DECIDED TO RUN OUR FIRST YOUTH VACCINATION FESTIVAL HERE IN CANON'S CREEK, WITH TRUSTED FACES AND TRUSTED PLACES. YOU WERE IN THE TENT WHERE RANGATAHI COULD COME AND ASK YOU QUESTIONS. POSITIVE QUESTIONS WITHA ASKING AND WHAT HOW COULD YOU PROVIDE? LOTS OF THEM WERE PRETTY BLOWN AWAY WITH HOW MANY MEDICAL PERSONNEL WERE ACTUALLY HERE, LIKE FACES THAT THEY HAD SEEN AT THEIR LOCAL GPS AND DOCTORS. MOST OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME TO OUR TENT WHERE IN RELATION TO WHERE THEY COULD GO FOR SUPPORT AFTER. AND I WAS LIKE, THESE PEOPLE, THE SAME PEOPLE. IT STARTED THE CONVERSATION AND I KNOW IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE ON. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. BACK TO YOU WITH A STUDIO. MAN, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TODAY. AWESOME TO SEE. THE FOOD, THE VACCINE OF COURSE. HAVING THEM ALL WORK TOGETHER IS JUST BRILLIANT. AND I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE SEEN THAT. IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE GOTTEN OUT TO THE WHANAU, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE STILL FEELING ANXIOUS ABOUT IT. IF YOU STILL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR QUERIES, THESE CALL THROUGH TO OUR HELPLINE. LOOK AT THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN AT IT ALL DAY. I HAVE BEEN GIVING THEM SOME ADVICE AS WELL. WE HAVE SEEN SOME VIRAL MOMENTS. NORMALLY THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING TO SAY, BUT WE HAVE SEEN PADDY G DANCING, DOING HIS TIKTOK. WE ALSO SAW DR ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD DANCING IN PORIRUA. WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO PORIRUA WHERE MORE DANCING HASN'T HAPPENING. WE ARE WITH DR MICHAEL BAKER, THE IMMUNOLOGIST WHO HAS BEEN PROVIDING A LOT OF INFORMATION THROUGHOUT COVID-19. WE ARE HERE AT FREEDOM CHURCH AT THAT VACCINATION CENTRE WITH EPIDEMIOLOGIST MICHAEL BAKER. HE IS GETTING HIS SECOND VACCINE TODAY. HIS FAMILY IS HERE GETTING THEIRS AS WELL. LET'S GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. I AM TERRIFIED OF NEEDLES, SO I AM JUST GOING TO LEAVE. BUT ALL THE BEST, MICHAEL. ALL RIGHT, MICHAEL. CAN YOU PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR FULL NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH. WE HAVE THE RIGHT PATIENT. DO YOU FEEL WELL TODAY? YES, VERY WELL. DO YOU HAVE ANY ALLERGIES? NO. IT GOES ON THE TOP OF YOUR DELTOID. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT? YES. IF YOU JUST RELAX YOUR ARM DOWN. DID THAT HURT, MICHAEL? I DIDN'T FEEL A THING. IT IS A 15 MINUTE WAIT NOW. IF YOU ARE WELL ENOUGH, AND WE WILL LET YOU GO HOME. THANK YOU. SO FOLLOW US. DID THAT HURT? NO, IT WAS PAINLESS. I DID NOT FEEL A THING. WHAT MESSAGE MIGHT YOU HAVE FOR AOTEAROA THAT MIGHT BE HESITANT TO COME INTO THE HEALTH CENTRE? I THINK IT IS NATURAL ENOUGH TO FEEL SOME WORRY ABOUT THINGS YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE. BUT JUST TRY IT OUT. THERE IS A HUGE SENSE OF RELIEF AFTERWARDS. I THINK THERE IS ALSO A RELIEF THAT I HAVE MORE ANTIBODIES, SO I AM MUCH BETTER DEFENDED IF I ENCOUNTER PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE. MY DAUGHTER IS TOO YOUNG TO BE VACCINATED. SADLY. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GETTING A VACCINATION IS TODAY? THIS IS MY SECOND TIME AS WELL. FOR ME IT IS JUST A NO-BRAINER. I'M DOING IT TO THE TEAM. PHOEBE, YOU WANT TO BE VACCINATED. I'M TERRIFIED OF NEEDLES, BUT YOU LOVE THEM. WHY IS THAT? I JUST THINK THAT YOU COULD MISS OUT ON STUFF THAT YOU DON'T GET THE VACCINE. IT WILL PROTECT ME FROM COVID AND ANYBODY I MEET. WHAT THINGS ARE YOU NOT WANTING TO MISS OUT ON? HAVING A FUN SUMMER AND CHRISTMAS AND BEING ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT I LOVE TO DO. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, HAVING A DAUGHTER THAT HAS THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE? SHE HAS BEEN LISTENING TO ANYBODY MERELY JUST TALK TO HER FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS, SO SHE MUST BE A BIT TIRED OF TALK ABOUT COVID-19. ARE YOU? IT IS A HOT TOPIC OF THE DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR WHANAU. SO AWESOME TO SEE PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL BAKER IN THE COMMUNITY. ONLY AN HOUR AND 1/2 IN THIS VAXATHON. SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US. IT HAS BEEN SO NICE TO HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS KAUPAPA. HAVE A LOOK AT THIS MESSAGE HERE. TOGETHER WE ARE THE WOW SAMOANS. WE ARE OVER IN THE GOLD COAST. WE WANTED TO JUMP ON HERE AND SUPPORT EVERYONE WHO IS GETTING THE SHOTS TODAY. ARE YOU ALL SHOTTERED UP. YES I'VE GOT MY DOUBLE JABS. I GOT THEM BECAUSE I LOVE MY FAMILY. WHY DID YOU GET YOUR DOUBLE JABS? SAME REASON AS LOTS OF PEOPLE ` I CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY. BUT ALSO, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW. YOU DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE IMMUNO COMPRISED. I DON'T WANT COVID. I'VE GOT SOME PROTECTION, WHICH IS GOOD FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR ME. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. LET'S GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER. hoki mai ano, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HEAR THIS CLASSIC SONG, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VACCINATION. WE NEED YOU TO PLAY YOUR PART. IF WE GET TO 130,000, DR ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD WILL LEAD ALL OF US AROUND AOTEAROA IN THE SONG. 130K IS WHAT WE WANT TONIGHT. I WANT TO SEE ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD GETTING JIGGY WITH THAT. LET'S GO BIGGER, HUNDRED AND 50,000. I'M NOT SURE HOW ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD FEELS ABOUT THAT. HE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY HAPPY TO BE HERE. IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE'VE BEEN DOWN SOUTH, LET'S GO BACK TO THE GARDEN CITY. KIA ORA, I'M HERE IN HORNBY. OPEN TILL 8 PM, YOU'VE STILL GOT PLENTY OF TIME. AMAZING STAFF WITH INCREDIBLE OUTFITS. THEY'VE GOT LOTS OF FREEBIES TO GIVE AWAY. I'VE GOT HERE A PARALYMPIAN. HOW WAS THAT EXPERIENCE? IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE OVER THERE. JUST GOT ON WITH IT, REALLY AFTER I HAD GOTTEN THE VACCINE. COVID HAS STOPPED A LOT OF THINGS AND A LOT OF TRAVEL. DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS FOR ALFANO OUT THERE WHO ARE UNDECIDED ON WHETHER THEY WANT THE VACCINE? I HAD AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE SHOT BEFORE WE WENT OVER, AND IT FELT GREAT TO BE SO PROTECTED, AND TO KNOW THAT I COULD PROTECT THE PUBLIC OVER IN JAPAN. IT'S REALLY IMPORTED TO GOING GET VACCINATED. AWESOME, IT'S NOT TOO LATE. COME ON DOWN. I TELL YOU WHAT, ONLY TYLA GOOD ROPE IN THE ATHLETES THAT WE HAVE SEEN TODAY. IT'S SO IMPORTANT. NOT ONLY DO WE SEE THE B AMAZING SPORTING STARS ACROSS AOTEAROA, WE ALSO HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE. THOUGH SPORTS STARS, THEY ARE ROLE MODELS TO ASK, TO SEE THEM AS A PATH BOARD. TO FEEL THEIR PASSION AND SUPPORT FOR THIS KAUPAPA HAS BEEN REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND I THINK REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED YET, HERE IS NOT ONE, NOT TWO BUT EIGHT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD. MY ROLE AS PART OF AOTEAROA'S TEAM OF 5 MILLION, I TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY. SO NOW I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU EIGHT REASONS TO GET VACCINATED. TUATAHI ` COME CLOSER, COME CLOSER. TUARUA ` BECAUSE IT'S EASY AS. YOU JUST BOOK IN AT YOUR LOCAL VACCINATION CENTRE, TALK TO THE NURSES, AND YOU'RE OFF. DON'T FORGET TO CHOOSE YOUR ARM, AND YOU'RE READY FOR YOUR SHOT. DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK. THEN YOU WAIT FOR 15 MINUTES, JUST TO BE SAFE. AND THEN YOU ARE OUT OF THEIR. TUATORU ` SO YOU CAN PROTECT THOSE AROUND YOU WHO CAN'T GET VACCINATED. LIKE THESE GUYS. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE TOO LITTLE TO BE PROTECTED BY THE VACCINE. THE MORE PEOPLE AROUND THEM THAT HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, THE MORE PROTECTED THEY ARE. TUAWHA ` NO MORE LOCKDOWNS. BEING BACKS UNAIDED REDUCES THE RISK OF OUTBREAKS. LESS OUTBREAKS EQUALS LESS LOCKDOWNS. TUARIMA ` BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER. SANDY FEET ` SANDY FEET ` SUNSHINE, DIRTY FEET... SUNSHINE, SANDY FEET AND FUN. TUAONO ` SO WE CAN TRAVEL AGAIN. TUAWHITU ` BECAUSE MILLIONS OF NEW ZEALANDERS HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR FIRST DOSE. SO MANY STUDIES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE SHOWN US THAT IT IS SAFE AND IT PROTECTS US AGAINST THE VIRUS. AND FINALLY, TUAWARU ` SO WE CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL LIFE AGAIN. YOU SEE, COVID 19 AFFECTS EVERYONE. WE ARE ALL TRYING OUR BEST TO PLAY OUR PART WELL. LIKE FACE TIMING LOVED ONES, WEARING FACE MASKS, STAYING IN OUR BUBBLES, WE'VE EVEN CHANGE THE WAY WE GREET OUR WHANAU AND FRIENDS. WE'VE COME THIS FAR, AOTEAROA, LET'S BEAST MODE IT TO THE END. AND MAYBE THEN WE CAN SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH OUR FAMILY. THERE YOU HAVE IT, EIGHT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GET VACCINATED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET IN THE CAR AND GOING GET VACCINATED. YOU CAN GO IN THE DRAW TO WIN A TON OF AMAZING PRIZES. ONE MAN HAS WON ONE YEAR OF FREE BURGER FUEL, AND A ROCK SHOP PRIZE PACK, INCLUDING HEADPHONES AND A DOUBLE PASS TO RHYTHM AND ALPS. THERE IS SOME KUMARA FRIES AND A OLLIE THAT I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE UP WITH THAT. MY BROTHER IS WORKING THERE, CAN YOU SEE HIM? I WAS GOING TO SAY, IT'S ABOUT MANAAKITANGA, BUT MAYBE IT'S ABOUT KAI. IT'S IMPORTANT, IT'S PART OF THE ATMOSPHERE. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US. IT'S SO AWESOME THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS SO INTO SUPPORTING THE KAUPAPA, AND THAT MEANS TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM, AND HAVING THE KAI. IT'S ABOUT MANAAKI WHANAU. THE RESULTS ARE, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN PACKED OUT ALL DAY. AND THE NUMBERS, DID YOU EXPECT IT? AND THEY'RE STILL COMING, IT'S FANTASTIC. PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR FIRST DOSES, PEOPLE ARE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE HERE AND HAPPY THEY ARE TAKING THAT STEP. THE WHANAU IS HERE, EVERYBODY IS HERE. TELL ME ABOUT THAT CAR THAT CAME THROUGH THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FULL. IN A WAKA, ALL OF THEM WERE FIRST TIME VACCINATED. I WENT AND GOT THEM SOME SAUSAGES, AND THEN THEY LEFT. AND IF YOU ARE AROUND PAPAKURA AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED, YOU'VE JUST FINISHED WORK, YOU'VE TAKEN THE KIDS UP FOR THE DAY, HAERE MAI, THERE'S HEAPS OF SAUSAGES LEFT. BUT HURRY BECAUSE HE IS HUNGRY. HOW GOOD DID THAT SAUSAGE SIZZLE LOOK, BY THE WAY? ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND HE MADE IT LOOK EVEN BETTER. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. NOW, WE DID SAY, A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO, THAT IF WE GOT TO 130,000 VACCINATIONS, THEN THE MAN HIMSELF, DR ASHLEY BLOOMFIELD, WOULD LEAD US IN A DANCE AND SONG. LET'S LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. DON'T FORGET, WE WANTED TO 25,000 MAORI VACCINATIONS. STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO GET VACCINATED, EVERYONE. WE ARE ONLY HERE UNTIL EIGHT, BUT SOME BACKS ARE NATION CENTRES ARE STAYING OPEN LATE.

I'VE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT MYSELF, MY WHANAU, MY THOUGHTS, MY BELIEFS, THE SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT, AND I THINK THE BEST THING IS TO BRING LOVE, BRING AROHA, AND ALL THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT BRINGS. WE GOT TO FIND THE WONDERFUL WORDS FOR ALFANO AT HOME. THINK ABOUT AFTER TOMORROW. TELL US ABOUT AFTER TOMORROW. I WILL BE HEADING BACK TO RAWHITI, TO AND ENCOURAGING MY WHANAU TO KEEP SAFE, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR THEM. YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY LOVE TODAY, WAS THE LOOKS.

YES I DID. WE GOT TO SEE ALL THE LITTLE BLOOPERS. TIRITI HARRISON, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT TIRITI, IF THERE IS A BIG KAUPAPA MAORI ANYWHERE, HE IS MOST LIKELY DIRECTING TRAFFIC. AND WEARING HI VIS. HE'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE FOREVER. WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUR MOMENTUM, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE MEMORABLE MOMENTS, GOING TO THE BEACH, BEING WHANAU, AND ALL THAT JAZZ. WE ARE ABOUT TO END, BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LOVELY TO FINISH THE DAY OFF HERE, NEAR OUR BELOVED MOANA. ISN'T SHE JUST GORGEOUS, HOW SHE DOES THAT.
