A South Australian woman who needed a COVID vaccination for her employment has allegedly paid money to a vulnerable person to receive the jab on her behalf.
Police said the woman, 52, from Chapel Hill, near Echunga in the Adelaide hills, accompanied the person to the Mount Barker vaccination clinic on Monday, January 10.
It has been alleged she deceived SA Health workers into giving the person the vaccine in her name by pretending to be the carer of the person.
Police said the woman needed evidence of the vaccination for her employment.
She has been charged with deception and dishonestly dealing with documents.
The woman has been bailed and will face the Mount Barker Magistrates Court on March 30.
Premier Steven Marshall said paying someone to get jabbed was "completely unacceptable".
"This is unconscionable behaviour if correct," he said.
