Detailed vaccination progress for Raglan Whāingaroa:
yep i think we are getting down to the hard core anti vaxxers now. Not surprising considering all the hippie new age types that live in Raglan and surrounds as well as some people who believe the rubbish on social media. Hopefully overall their numbers will be low enough to not impact on healthcare for the rest of us.
