Updated passes coming

Auckland: Vaccinated Kiwis will soon be able to download an updated vaccine pass that will include a record of their booster shots.

The new My Vaccine Pass could be downloaded from May 24, Covid19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said.

Vaccine passes are no longer needed to enter cafes and restaurants or for employment in most workplaces.

However, Mr Hipkins still encouraged Kiwis to download their passes, saying it was an important record.

The updated passes will be available for anyone aged 12 and over who is up to date with their vaccinations for their age group and for the type of vaccine they have received.

It will also include records of boosters for those over 18. — The New
