Covid-19: Southern DHB member emails Countdown opposing vaccine mandate for staff

From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 11 November 2021

People against Covid-19 vaccines and vaccination mandates are using a leaked email address to abuse Countdown supermarket.

The email was set up to seek staff feedback on a proposal to require all the grocer's employees to be vaccinated by mid-January.

One angry message to the supermarket was from a Southern DHB board member who told RNZ she was using her role to highlight the unfairness of mandates.
