Sell COVID-19 vaccine

Men offering $100 vaccines in Christchurch 'not legitimate'

The ministry says it is a scam and police are investigating.

Addington resident Joshua said the two smartly dressed men knocked on the door on Saturday morning.

The pair claimed they were from a Ministry of Health outreach programme, aimed at boosting community vaccination rates.

"They even had a sheet of paper just explaining the vaccine process and that for $100 they were offering an outreach where like a car would come or someone and they could vaccinate you after work hours."

Joshua knew something was off.
