Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): This morning I announced that from today, New Zealanders can get their official proof of vaccination, the My Vaccine Pass. A separate, international COVID-19 vaccination certificate, which provides a proof of vaccination certificate in order to enter overseas countries, can now also be requested. To obtain one, people will need to be fully vaccinated or be one of the very small number of Kiwis who has received a medical exemption. People can log into My COVID Record to make a request for the free pass or call 0800 222 478. As at midday today, I'm advised that 65,454 people had already requested their pass. I understand that's now already over 100,000. We don't want anyone to miss out, so we're strongly encouraging those who have been putting off getting the vaccine to take that step now as we prepare to transition into the COVID-19 Protection Framework.
