MIQ worker wasn t vaccinated; 20% of border staff yet to get jab Mon, 12 Apr 2021, 1:34PM
The latest MIQ worker who tested positive for Covid-19 wasn t vaccinated, director general of Health Ashley Bloomfield said.
It comes amid revelations that 20 per cent of border staff have yet to get the jab protecting them against coronavirus.
Bloomfield said he understood that the latest case - who works at the Grand Millennium MIQ facility in Auckland - wanted to get the vaccine but was in isolation.
Bloomfield said there was no problem with vaccine supply and he felt confident about the vaccine rollout.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was earlier unable to say if case C had been vaccinated against COVID-19. The Ministry of Health revealed last week case B hadn t had the jab because they missed two scheduled vaccination appointments due to personal reasons - but gave no further explanation. So far, that s not something that I have all of the full details around - so I m going to let [the Ministry of] Health put that out, Ardern said.
