Rob Fyfe calls for 'ambitious' vaccine target from government - a podcast by RNZ

With nearly 1,000 cases, four weeks of lockdown and a huge hit to the New Zealand economy - Covid-19 Delta has well and truly thrown the country a giant curveball.
Last month, the government announced plans to reopen Aotearoa to the world by introducing a risk-based border from early next year.
But with the biggest city in lockdown, what does the latest outbreak mean for that plan?
Government Covid-19 business adviser Rob Fyfe tells Lisa Owen he would like to see an ambitious target for vaccination, and he would like to see the government "throwing the sink" at getting as many people vaccinated as possible.
