An immunologist says COVID-19 continues to have unequal impacts on Pasifika communities in New Zealand.

People are being urged to get vaccinated, wear masks and use anti-viral medications following an increase in the number of cases in New Zealand over the past two weeks.

RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon spoke with Immunologist Dr Dianne Sika-Paotonu about the importance of prevention ahead of winter.
