Twenty-one frontline workers have refused the Covid-19 jab, three weeks into the vaccine rollout programme.
The head of Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ), Brigadier Jim Bliss, confirmed the figures after anecdotal reports more than a week ago of staff refusing the jab.
A total of 12,709 of the 15,200-strong workforce in MIQ facilities and at the border have so far received the vaccine.

Brigadier Bliss told RNZ staff have a right to refuse the vaccine, but there are ramifications. We go through an education process and we also have a discussion with their employer about the next steps for them and that s a further conversation with the worker.
