Kiwis are now able to download their Covid vaccination certificate, called 'My Vaccine Pass'.

Anyone who is fully vaccinated can request a pass by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478. The vaccine pass can be downloaded as an image on your phone, added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, or printed out as a hard copy.

Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has asked people to be patient and request their passes over the next few days, as the website has already seen an overwhelming demand since it was launched this morning.

Passes will not be required to access essential businesses such as schools, supermarkets, or pharmacies, but more details on how they will be implemented are expected to be outlined in the press conference at 1pm today.

What you need to know:

• You can request a vaccine pass at mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478.
• If you don't receive an email with your pass within 24 hours, email the My Covid Record team on help@mycovidrecord.min.health.nz or call 0800 222 478. Check your spam folder first.
• The pass will be required later this year to enter some businesses and venues.
• There are separate passes you can request for domestic use and international travel.

Mass Anti Masking

Had the displeasure of catching the 1.30pm Hutt Valley train from Wellington last Tuesday and got caught up with the train's carriages being swamped and completely over-run with anti vaxxers and other assorted antis. Usually this train would be almost empty.
I would estimate that less than 15 % of all the passengers were wearing a mask when masking on public transport is compulsory unless one has some kind of health exemption and on normal days everyone on public transport I see wears a mask.

Wearing a mask to help combat spreading and getting covid is world wide at various levels and there is going to be a rejuvenation of mask wearing in many countries that have laxed in this regard because of the huge upsurge of Covid spread. Yet we have all these hundreds of agitating Hutt Valley commutors blatantly disregarding the possible outcome of being maskless in confined spaces.

I must say I felt very unsafe.

The railways must bear some responsibility. The ticket collectors are overwhelmed and thus say nothing but the train should never have left the Wellington railway station with the horde of unmasked people. There is a railways communication system on all trains and at all times at the main station.
