Open and transparent again
Newshub reports:
Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield has conceded that quietly changing information online about the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out “may not have been the best way”.
The Ministry of Health has updated when Group 4 – the general population – will be invited to receive Pfizer jabs. Its website now says they can get vaccinated from the “end of July”, when a few days prior it simply said “from July”.
National’s COVID-19 response spokesperson Chris Bishop says the Government needs to be “far more upfront with New Zealanders” about the progress of the vaccine programme.
A quiet updating of a website rather than a media release. They were hoping no one would notice.
My pick is they will vaccinate one general population person at 11.30 pm on 31 July so they can claim the rollout started in July!
