For those in the know, I'm sure this doesn't come as any surprise

FFS - They're agency staff. One of the advantages of using agencies is you get to set the rules. The agency is the employer, if they want your business - they comply.
Too much namby pamby, angsty wringing of hands. Should be "sorry x hasn't had their jab and y hasn't been available to be tested, we don't want them back tomorrow".
Suspect that given MBIE were going to phase out agency staff months ago, they can't actually recruit enough bodies to work for shit money at the COVID front line.

Money and a shit job. It's a complete boredom job for little money.
In retrospect MBIE (or MoH) should have set up better controls over the jabs. At the time, because the request for them came via the staff and agencies the assumption was that everyone would be queuing up or anti-jabbers. They didn't take into account the slack arses. -

These sort of incidents are the tip of the iceberg I suspect
That has been common in the US, and I suspect in other countries too.
What has? Vaccine waste? Probably. However this is a clickbait headline. The person did take to social media, but because they didn't understand that there were already systems in place to make sure that oversupply was used.
It does happen. I guess it's a logistics error or something. Mrs C got her jab a couple of weeks ago from an excess.It's pretty easy to make sure it isn't wasted by inviting those down the list that you have quick access to (such as families or workers) -

@crucial Using SM to vaccinate members of the public if there are vials of vaccine that have been thawed and need to be used ASAP.
In this case it was use of SM to cause a problem because some Karen thought that she could manage the situation before actually checking her facts.
The DHB did have a system in place to make sure that excess was used. She got a bunch of people to turn up uninvited. -
Vaccination data updated for the week.
Ahead of target, but I suspect, or have read that their targets are very flexible, and 'constantly updated'.
Anyway. 36,000 vaccinations up since 7 days ago.

It's been good to see some of the family/partner reunification stories in the media this afternoon. A small step, but brilliant to see a little more joy back in the world.
Absolutely.
Just please nobody fark it up in the next 3 weeks...😬 (he says incredibly selfishly)

Vaccination data updated for the week.
First dose administered 140580
Second dose administered 42771
Total doses administered 183351I think that is 57k in the week, up from 36k increase the week before. (my maths, not official)

Ramping up. Selfishly I prefer that they are ramping up slowly. Means they might have things right by the time of doing the Gen pop.

Am I being dumb or does this make no sense? How did they get to NZ, and if they flew, did they fly themselves in their own plane? Otherwise shouldn't there be a few more of these guys...???
Edit, I guess the plane could have been transiting AKL and only 1 person got off???
Odd

@taniwharugby So questions need to be asked in WA and at Kingsford Smith Airport.

This fucker knowingly circumvents the lockdown, and systems in Perth and Sydney aren't sharp enough to catch him. But he should be prosecuted because there can be no "I wasn't aware" defence. His flight from Perth to NZ was cancelled due to the lockdown

He shouldn't be prosecuted because the lockdown was bullshit.
