Under current New Zealand regulations, to get vaccinated against coronavirus, you only need to provide your name, date of birth and address. To facilitate access to this procedure, photo ID is not required, although the police warned in October last year that some dodgers could take advantage of this “loophole”.
And how they looked into the water … Now the health authorities of the country are checking the information received by them that a certain individual visited 10 vaccination centers in one day and received 10 doses of the vaccine. And he did this not on a voluntary basis, but, presumably, for a fee, posing as other people who do not want to be vaccinated, but want to have a vaccination document, since there are a number of restrictions in the country that make life difficult for the unvaccinated part of the population.
Experts say that such an overdose of the vaccine should not cause particularly severe consequences, although the overall reaction to the vaccine may be longer and more painful.
The country’s authorities are not going to change the rules, citing the fact that the requirement for photo ID “will be directed against the achievement of our goal of vaccinating as many people as possible.”
