A warning from the Prime Minister for anyone contemplating not getting a COVID-19 vaccine
A warning from the Prime Minister for anyone contemplating not getting a COVID-19 vaccine
20 August 2020
Jacinda Ardern says she expects we'll achieve immunity without needing to make a vaccine mandatory - when it becomes available.
She says the virus impacts people's freedoms, so a comprehensive vaccination programme is in everyone's interest.
And she says the risks of not getting vaccinated will then fall to each individual.
The PM says if people choose not to get vaccinated they'll be putting their own health at risk - because the other controls that have stopped the spread will be removed.
