Ports race to meet vaccination deadline

From Nights, 10:20 pm on 29 September 2021

There's been a race to the finish line for port companies to get those stevedores and other port workers who go on board visiting ships, vaccinated before tonight's 9pm deadline. All port workers who board international ships must have had at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by now. National Secretary Craig Harrison says there might be some protests against the policy, but he doesn't expect it to be widespread.
