No national vaccination booking system existed, and southern health workers introducing the regional vaccination plan had been forced to use basic digital diaries, such as Outlook Calendar, to schedule appointments. "The Covid-19 vaccine rollout is a total shambles," one primary health worker said. Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says a national vaccination booking system is still being developed. "When we get to the point where we're rolling it out to everyone ... that's when we're going to have a national booking system available." The new national system was expected to be introduced in mid to late April, although Hipkins said it was still being developed.
