The pair claimed they were from a Ministry of Health outreach programme, aimed at boosting community vaccination rates. In a statement, the ministry said it is a scam and Covid-19 vaccinations are being offered for free. "Therefore, anyone trying to charge for vaccinations, or arriving unannounced and going door-to-door claiming to be from the Ministry of Health and offering vaccinations is not legitimate." Police say they have received reports of two people going door-to-door in Christchurch offering vaccinations for a fee.
