So, what do the frontline workers REALLY think of the vaccine......
Almost 13K frontline workers get Covid-19 vaccine, 21 refuseA total of 12,709 of the 15,200-strong workforce in MIQ facilities and at the border have so far received the vaccine.
Brigadier Bliss told RNZ that staff have a right to refuse the vaccine, but there are ramifications.
"We go through an education process and we also have a discussion with their employer about the next steps for them and that's a further conversation with the worker."
He said all staff get educated on the vaccine but those who decline get extra information.
"We're strongly encouraging all of our workforce in MIQ and the border to be vaccinated and if not, there has to be a conversation about whether that worker is redeployed in the organisation, or what the next steps are.
"Hopefully we'll get them on-side and vaccinated as part of the workforce."
