Just under 6 per cent of Whanganui District Health Board staff are at risk of losing their jobs next week after failing to receive a Covid-19 vaccination.
According to the latest figures revealed by the DHB this week, 94.3 per cent of Whanganui DHB's entire workforce have had at least one dose of the jab.
The remaining 5.7 per cent, which equates to about 58 staff, have not yet presented for a vaccination.
As per the Government's vaccination mandate, by Tuesday all DHB staff must have had at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, barring those with a medical exemption, or they will be stood down.
