Businesses hopeful workplace vaccination tool will bring certainty

From Midday Report, 12:44 pm on 23 November 2021

The government will launch a new tool to help employers figure out which of their staff need to be vaccinated.

The tool is still being refined but is likely to assess four factors -  the environment an employee works in, if they work near others, if that is for long periods, and if they provide services to people who are vulnerable to Covid-19. 

Māni Dunlop asks BusinessNZ's chief executive Kirk Hope whether it will provide employers with the certainty they crave.
