Thirteen people working in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities may be fired for not receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
Since Saturday, it has been mandatory for anyone working at the border to have had at least their first jab, under the Covid-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order.
It has already been revealed that nine Customs workers have lost their jobs as a result of their decision to not receive the vaccine.
New figures provided to RNZ from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) showed 97.4 per cent of the nearly 5000 people who work within MIQ have received the vaccine.
