Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: New Zealand has a world-class research sector with a history of working with colleagues across the globe to tackle complex problems. I've been heartened to see the speed and enthusiasm with which researchers have been tackling this issue, and it is this expertise that will be crucial to New Zealand securing access to a vaccine as soon as possible. It is vital that we contribute to international research efforts as well as ramping up our own research and manufacturing capability to meet demand. New Zealand scientists and researchers have already initiated early work into vaccine research, and we've supported this through funding through the COVID-19 Innovation Accelerator Fund. I'm pleased to say this strategy will enable this valuable New Zealand research to continue.
