Abstract
There is currently a lack of research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that focusses specifically on
the Niue community. The aims of this study were to understand the key experiences of the Niue
community during the COVID-19 pandemic relating to their wellbeing and perceptions of the COVID-19
vaccine. We addressed the research aims using a mixed-method approach, with 380 completed responses
to the survey, followed by 26 participants in tala or narrative interviews. Underpinning this study is the
application of the three key principles of the Matalili Wellbeing Framework, namely Vahā Loto-Agaaga
Ofania (Spirit of Care), Fakafetuiaga (Inclusive Relationship), and Fakamalolo (Empowerment).
