A 56-year-old health worker in New Zealand has been arrested for allegedly misusing and disclosing COVID-19 vaccination data.

Barry Young, who worked for public health agency Te Whatu Ora, which runs the country’s hospitals, received plenty of support during his court appearance on Dec. 4—Mr. Young was met with a standing ovation from the public gallery.
