Covid-19 Workforce Vaccinations – Public Sector Guidance
News Industry News
Last week, New Zealand’s vaccine roll-out began with a number of border workers and those working in managed isolation and quarantine facilities getting their first vaccine. To assist with its roll-out plan, the Public Service Commission has released Covid-19 Workforce Vaccinations Guidance (“the Guidance”) that outlines expectations when it comes to vaccine roll-out in the public sector.
The Guidance notes that the government’s goal is to ensure that all those who can be, are vaccinated and to support this there is an expectation that all employees in the public sector should be vaccinated.
