The New Zealand government is planning to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers, support staff, and healthcare workers. By December 1st, high-risk workers in the health and disability sector must be fully vaccinated. By January 1st, 2022, all school and early learning staff, including home-based educators and support personnel, must also be fully vaccinated. Secondary schools will keep a vaccination register, and unvaccinated students will be considered as such. Those who choose not to be vaccinated in the health and education workforce will not be able to continue working in those roles. Vaccinations will also be mandated for workplaces where a vaccine certificate is required for entry, such as hospitality, events, gyms, hairdressers, and barbers. Employees will have a notice period to get vaccinated, and if they do not comply, their employment will be terminated.
