Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says the unvaccinated Auckland security guard who tested positive for Covid-19 had been offered a vaccination shot several times.
Hipkins told Newstalk ZB's Heather du Plessis-Allan that several attempts had been made to offer the Grand Millennium worker a vaccine but they hadn't been successful.
"Part of the interview process that we are going through today is to understand why," Hipkins said.
"Was it that the person refused, or were they unable to for a variety of reasons?"
