Covid-19: Police asked staff to delay vaccination unless they used chosen provider

From Morning Report, 7:47 am on 4 October 2021

The police hierarchy asked staff not to get vaccinated early in the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, unless they did it through the police's chosen provider.

That's because the police were prioritising knowing who had been vaccinated, over getting as many people as possible their innoculations.

At the same time, staff who were able to get vaccinated through the police's MedPro supplier, were noted as being slow to come forward for their injections.
