Hi Chris

As discussed the other week: here is the MBIE website to remove all the white noise.

https://www.employment.govt.nz/leave-and-holidays/other-types-of-leave/coronavirus-workplace/covid-19-vaccination-and-employment/

Taking a more objective philosophy = If you replaced ‘Covid’ with ‘influenza’ (which kills 500-1000 NZers annually) in your thought processes, would you not let anyone who didn’t have a flu jab back to work in case they infected others?

This may seem to be a bit flippant, but I used a similar approach when we were sending workers overseas where there was dengue fever, zika virus, drug-resistant tuberculosis, and other assorted nasties.

Cheers

Stephen.
