A South Auckland GP facing an aggressive patient had two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine stolen from their clinic.
Local Doctors Dawson Road said the incident on Tuesday left one staff member shaken but was otherwise "minor".
Police said two syringes containing the Covid-19 vaccine were found missing at the Clover Park clinic and were "suspected to have been taken by a woman who was verbally abusive to the health professional providing the vaccine".
"We have been dealing with this person for a while," said Local Doctors spokesman Mike Fredericson, confirming a police report had been filed.
