New Zealand Man Posing as Others May Have Received 10 Jabs in a Day

New Zealand health authorities won’t alter vaccine rules and start asking for photo ID.

(NEWSER– Health authorities in New Zealand are investigating claims that a man received up to 10 COVID-19 vaccination doses in a single day while posing as other people. To receive a vaccine, New Zealanders need only give their name, date of birth, and address. To aid accessibility, photo identification isn’t required—even though police in October warned that some may be taking advantage of the rules, per Stuff. The man who visited several vaccination centers was allegedly paid by other people to get the doses on their behalf, according to the outlet.

While 89% of New Zealand’s eligible population (12 years and up) are fully vaccinated, per Deutsche Welle, some residents are reluctant to get a shot and at the same time eager to skirt restrictions on the unvaccinated. “We are very concerned about this situation and are working with the appropriate agencies,” says Ministry of Health rep Astrid Koornneef, per the Guardian. “This puts at risk the person who receives a vaccination under an assumed [identity] and the person whose health record will show they have been vaccinated when they have not. This could affect how their health is managed in the future.” more here
