Southlanders worried rollout will leave them behind - Cadogan - a podcast by RNZ

Rural communities in the south worry they may be left behind during the Covid-19 vaccine roll out.
There are currently no vaccine clinics operating on Stewart Island, nor in remote centres such as Te Anau, Ranfurly and Roxburgh.
The Southern DHB says more clinics will be opened by the end of July in those areas so no one is more than an hour's travel from the nearest clinic.
People in group three - those over 65 or at greater risk from Covid-19 - have been travelling up to 170 kilometres to get their shots.
Less than 20 percent of group three in the district have received a first dose and less than 10 percent are fully inoculated.
Central Otago Mayor Tim Cadogan told reporter Timothy Brown, residents of his district are remaining patient at the moment, though that could change.
