Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins has labelled the handing out of unofficial Covid-19 vaccine exemptions by a Kaiapoi GP as clearly unethical behaviour.
The Ministry of Health is investigating claims Dr Jonie Girouard has been handing out fake medical certificates to be used as exemptions for getting the Pfizer vaccine.
The GP is reported to have boasted the medical certificates have been used for international travel.
Chris Hipkins says he's sure there will be an investigation by the professional body for GPs.
The Medical Association wants the police to investigate.
Association chair Dr Alistair Humphrey spoke to Susie Ferguson.
