COVID-19: Book My Vaccine Privacy
John made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was successful.
From: John
Dear Ministry of Health,
I would like to request the following information regarding the privacy of vaccine booking.
1. Do people have to have NHI to book/get the vaccine?
2. As we know, some vaccination centres refuse to vaccinate persons who have no NHI. Could you confirm it is the case? and the reason.
3. As the government announced, every person can get the vaccine. Does it include the overstayers who have no NHI? or persons are not willingly to get the NHI?
4. If overstayers need to have NHI to be vaccinated, what information will be collected, and what other government agencies will get such information?
5. On your privacy statement, it states that "Fraudulent bookings: Information may be shared with other agencies where we have reason to believe that a fraudulent booking has been made, or where one person attempts to use the identity of another person."
What information will be shared? to which agencies?
6.If overstayers make booking with alias, will you consider these as fraudulent bookings?
7. As questions 5 and 6, how the government assure the vaccination campaign can cover everyone?
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
John
