A Dunedin anti-transgender and anti-mandate activist has had her nursing licence suspended.
Nursing Council of New Zealand senior legal adviser Clare Prendergast confirmed Jennifer Scott had her practising certificate suspended.
That meant she was unable to practise nursing at present.
"We cannot comment on individual cases, but the council is able to suspend nurses’ practising certificates while an investigation is pending," Ms Prendergast said.
"All because I have openly criticised the jab and state very clearly that a woman is an adult human female.
"They have not listened to any research I have sent them," she said.
Ms Scott recently addressed the Dunedin City Council, where her opinion on the use of changing rooms by trans women was criticised by Mayor Aaron Hawkins.
She said she wanted to speak out as a registered nurse, but it is understood she lost her job last year due to the vaccine mandate.
Ms Scott told the Otago Daily Times that last year she became aware of what she called an "international medical scandal" while she was working as a registered nurse in a New Zealand mental health ward.
She was concerned about the prescription of puberty blockers and hormones for youth.
"My voice continues to be ignored by officials including the Nursing Council. I knew this was a political topic, and was aware of the backlash that I would receive."
Ms Scott said it would only be a matter of time before medical professionals would be held criminally liable for using these methods and promoting what she called the "trans agenda".
