Frontline employer has been trying for over a month to get their staff vaccinated

The Herald reports:

An employer, whose staff routinely work in Auckland’s managed isolation facilities and hospitals, is expressing frustration at not being able to get her workers vaccinated.

After five weeks of unanswered emails and non-returned phone calls, the employer wants to highlight the impossible position businesses like hers are being put in by government agencies. …

Karen’s business sees her staff enter about 200 facilities per week across Auckland and Waikato, including MIQ facilities, hospitals, apartment buildings and industrial sites. …

“You have Jacinda on the TV saying this security company should have got people vaccinated, it’s their fault. Well hello, we’re trying,” Karen said.

So not only have some staff not been tested for six months, despite us being told they get tested every two weeks. We have entire frontline employers unable to vaccinate their staff, despite the Government saying it is mandatory!
