Entry Requirements Covid 19 Vaccine

Jonty Piers made this Official Information request to Ministry of Defence

The request was successful.

From: Jonty Piers

Dear Ministry of Defence,

The Defence Careers website states entry requirements include x 2 covid-19 vaccines, yet many other jurisdictions like Canada and soon to be USA are abandoning thos requirement.

Does the New Zealand armed forces still impose a mandatory covid-19 vaccine requirement for all new recruits as of 01/03/2023. If so, are you looking into abandoning this position or is this the long term positioning on requirements into the armed forces.

Yours faithfully,

B Stevenson
