Migrant Vaccination Rates Lead in NZ w DR Ladam Hashemi: 20 March, 2024

An Auckland University research project has shown high vaccination rates skew towards new migrants in comparison to those born in New Zealand.

The study found children of recent migrants were also more likely to receive vaccines within the first year of moving to Aotearoa than non-migrants. 

Producer Sofia Kent spoke to Senior Researcher at the University of London Dr Ladam Hashemi about the research project.
