Maori Parents not to be Blamed
The head of Te Ohu Rata o Aoteaora, the Māori Medical Practitioners Association says Maori parents cannot be blamed for their tamariki not getting vaccinations. Public health specialists are concerned that low immunisation rates are fueling a measles epidemic in Christchurch and Auckland. Waatea News reported that only about 80% of children are vaccinated by the time they get to school, and the take-up by Māori is up to 15% lower than that. Dr Jansen says the solution lies in improving the way medical professionals interact with Māori, and in Māori feeling entitled to an adequate health system.
