Incorrect or missing records on the national immunisation register are causing some people to be turned away from getting a Covid-19 vaccine in locked-down Sydney, while others are being wrongly recorded as receiving the hepatitis" jab or no vaccination at all.

On Saturday, Guardian Australia reported that Sydney bus driver Ke Hua was wrongly recorded as fully vaccinated on the Australian immunisation register (AIR), despite not having a single dose, causing significant confusion when he showed up at Royal Prince Alfred hospital for his jab.
