New Zealand authorities on Monday announced that teachers and people working in the country’s health departments will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine in order to keep working in the sectors.

The sweeping “no jab, no job” policy was confirmed by COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins as New Zealand on Oct. 10 reported 35 new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases, with all of the cases being reported in Auckland, its largest city.
