ALDEN WILLIAMS/Stuff The Ministry of Health has still not contact Aucklanders, who may have received a dose of saline solution instead of the Covid-19 vaccine last month. Those groups include border workers, high-risk frontline health workers, over 65s and those with health conditions that make them more vulnerable to Covid-19. National director for the Covid-19 vaccination and immunisation programme Jo Gibbs said five doses were unaccounted for at the end of the day. An alternative that we can't rule out is the possibility that some people didn't receive the correct vaccine dose,” she said. RNZ has been told it is possible that those people could have received very little vaccine or just saline solution instead.
