Aotearoa New Zealand has already shown the world that it's possible to put people's health first.

It's not too late to eliminate COVID, again. We are calling on Jacinda Ardern and her government to recommit to elimination as a strategy.

This means stay-at-home restrictions and cash payments to allow everyone to keep paying the bills and rent.

• Give young people a chance to be vaccinated and achieve full immunity
• Devolve resources to Māori health providers to enable vaccination for hard-to-reach communities

We urge the government to recommit to putting health first, and help small businesses and employees to survive without living (and dying) with COVID.
