Covid-19: GPs turned away from spare vaccines

From Morning Report, 8:16 am on 1 March 2021

South Auckland GPs were turned away when they tried to get vaccinated this weekend after spare doses became available.

The city's district health boards had leftover vaccine after a week of border worker roll outs so offered it to health workers.

Several frontline GPs who turned up to get a dose were denied one, leaving many distraught.
