John Whaanga asked for clarity about susceptibility to adverse events, and particularly
whether this was distinguishable from people with underlying health conditions which are
actually one of our priority groups
David clarified that this group is distinct from people with underlying health conditions, and is
more focused on people who may have suffered from adverse events from vaccines in the
past.
Paper considered: CVIP OAG Performance Audit update
David gave an initial update on the OAG performance audit:
2.2
• OAG is in final stages of wrapping up their work, and today they issued a list of 14
questions which they want us to respond to within one week
• They will also go to a vaccination event next week to see how the whole process1982
flows. Details of this visit have already been organised
• OAG wil look to get a draft report to Ministry by 19 April, we wil then have 2-week
window to provide responses
ACT
• Report will be finalised in mid-May before being tabled in Parliament
• The issues they are likely to call out are all issues that have already been discussed
by Steering Group, including: Programme ability to scale, programme structure and
accountability, and commentary around IT readiness.
Ashley provided a further update on this point based on a meeting with OAG earlier in the
day:
• Noting the timelines provided for final report, there is stil around a month to address to
the greatest extent possible the issues raised.INFORMATION
• OAG has identified a number of key risks and issues, but none of them were issues
this Group would be unaware of.
• Programme complexity and unclear accountabilities: these issues should be
addressed by the ongoing restructure
• Level of certainty: OAG querying whether Ministry should be more transparent
about uncertainties in the programme and t
OFFICIAL hings outside our control
• Critical path: ‘Just in time’ nature of Programme work delivery means it is difficult
for those in Steering or Governance roles to provide assurance
• Lack of contingency planni
THE ng: Need to start thinking about how we would react to
events such as a new outbreak, or a large influx of supply.
• Primary care: Primary care providers need to be given more certainty around what
their role will be. This includes information around funding model. Additional
certainty for employers regarding their role would also be useful
• Equity: Questions ov
UNDER er how fully embedded equity is within the Programme, as
well as when money wil go out to providers. On the latter point, we do now have
more certainty.
• Technology: Issues raised around the national booking system and compatibility
with local systems. It appears that we do have these issues in hand now so should
just be about providing that assurance
• Comms: Some questions raised around when additional information wil be given
to providers and around the timing of larger public campaign
RELEASED
Dale noted that he has heard we are working towards having a population register by late-
June, and noted that population register has a very specific meaning
• Michael said that what was being worked on was having an additional layer above the
NHI that would enable us to run targeted campaigns and attach useful info around
individuals. The idea is to help us to use digital channels to better deliver population
health services. He wil be doing some work to advance this in the coming weeks as to
some extent we already have this, but it just needs to be organised better
Document 2
• Astrid stressed that this was never going to be a perfect tool, and particularly given
there are equity considerations around such a tool it can never be considered as the
only solution. However, it could be a very useful tool, amongst others.
Mat suggested that it would be worth considering whether Ministry aims to proactively publish
a full implementation plan around late-April or early-May. This would ensure that by the time
OAG report is tabled in Parliament there will be sufficient information available publicly on
how we are proceeding and addressing areas of concern.
• Agreement reached to explore this idea in next Steering Group meeting
Maree also stressed that some risks wil always be present in the Programme. This means as
a Steering Group we need to be aware of them while also acknowledging that not all of them
can be eliminated.
Action 1: Discuss proactive publication of full implementation plan at next Steering
Group meeting

INFORMATION
Ashley asked for feedback from Rachel and Dale regarding the perception of GP utilisation.
Rachel provided an overview of the manner in which GPs are being used as providers of
community-based clinics, rather than in a traditional sense of GPs. Her sense of using all GPs
in the way they are for childhood immunisations would be something more likely for later
groups.
OFFICIAL
Dale offered additional context, where they have gone out looking for initial Expressions of
Interest. They have received 15-20 responses, mainly from fairly large practices. A number of
PHOs are calling for a model where every GP is delivering vaccines, but some DHBs believe
there are issues with there are issues
THE with that model at this stage of the rollout.
Rachel added that one major reason this isn’t being scaled up is around accreditation.

in advance for the announcement around Janssen vaccine
Ashley noted that we wil want to have clear messaging around Janssen vaccine as it is part
of a strong narrative confirming we have a backup (single dose) vaccine.
Chris offered additional updates on other two vaccines awaiting approval:
• AstraZeneca: moving slower than expected due to a delay in receiving data and the
complex quality assessment. Probably looking at expert advisory meeting in early May

• Novavax. Formal application has started but Novavax haven’t provided their data yet.
Currently waiting to know more about their timeframe to send requested data,
approval decision wil be further down the track, probably sometime in Q3

Alison discussed possible implications of Janssen vaccine approval:
• An important step wil be for Ministry to advise Ministers in relation to how we would
like to use this vaccine within current programme
• There are interesting options available to use Janssen vaccine with specific groups or
delivery models
• It is also a key tool to manage any supply risks with Pfizer
• Over next 2 weeks Alison’s team will be talking to Immunisation team, as well as CV-
Tag and IIAG, about how we could optimise use of Janssen vaccine

Standing item on delivery over past seven days (Jo Gibbs)
Astrid provided update on initial analysis of DHB plans until end of June
• Al DHB plans have been received this morning and rapid assessment has been done
focusing on three components
• 1) Scaling and site planning: DHBs appear to have this in hand with some being
clearly ahead of others
• 2) Te Tiriti and equity: some comments pulled directly from report but further analysis
to be done with Jason Moses and team for next week
INFORMATION
• 3) Workforce: Main area of concern raised by most DHBs.
• Jo’s team has already gone back to some DHBs for clarification or further info,
reflecting again the need for us to be clear in how we ask for information
• The second at achment includes an analysis of DHB plans vs MoH model,
showing DHBs plans exceeding MOH model. However, for some DHBs the
forecasts look optimistic considering current performance.
OFFICIAL
• More work needs to be done on this to understand planning assumptions and be
confident about that before giving to minister
• The next steps wil be Jo w
THE orking with DHB CEs and SROs to talk through all the
plans within next week.
• There wil also be a deeper dive with each DHB to look at operational issues,
underlying assumptions, and where we as Ministry can support and help

Action 4: Draft framework to support monitoring and escalation of DHB plans to be
brought through Steering Group next week
Group Discussion
• Jo has agreed with all CEs that they are happy to share plans across DHBs so this

• Ashley highlighted that the main challenge wil be the extent to which we can be sure
about delivery against their plans.
• Jo said that by next week’s meeting there should have been one formal conversation
with each DHB and wil be able to provide analysis of plans against actual delivery.
She should also be able to bring back a more detailed equity assessment
Document 2
• John Whaanga raised the issue that current forms don’t allow staff to ask for ethnicity
of person being vaccinated, as there is an assumption this is being picked up from
NHI
• DG asked for clarification on what other fields (if any) are assumed to be auto-filled
from NHI
Action 5: Jo to confirm which fields in vaccination form are assumed to be auto-fil ed
from NHI
Group Discussion
• Mat noted that if DHBs do stick to these plans there would need to be almost no
wastage at all in order for supply to keep up with this
• Dale confirmed that some DHBs have concerns around workforce and that anywhere
1982
an alternative workforce to DHBs could use would be advantageous.
• Jo mentioned that currently we are averaging about 0.5 FTE for every vaccinator
trained
ACT
• Jo indicated that contracts with national occupational health providers wil be signed
off by the end of the week. This workforce could be used in big centres, but numbers
will be small relative to overall goal. Training of unregulated workforce should be

DHBs appear to be doing is coming up with a pattern where not every site is being run
every day, but there is always some availability over weekends for example
• Ashley asked the degree of confidence of DHBs being able to meet their plans after
these conversations

Ministry is going reach specific vulnerable groups
ACT
Group Discussion including OAG staff
• In response to a question regarding current risk monitoring within Programme, Leanne
suggested that the report would note that the Programme is largely picking up on the
right risks and taking actions, while suggesting that some risks require additional
focus.
• Leanne also stated that the aim of the report is not specifically to say whether the
Programme is performing well or poorly, but more to emphasise what needs to be
done to maximise the chance of reaching the publicly stated goals of the campaign.
• Colin suggested that an important thing to contextualise within the report is the need
INFORMATION
for the Programme to increase not just its scale but also its reach into communities.
Internal Group Discussion [note discussion occurred at the end of the agenda]
• David said that the report wil be circulated tonight among the Programme Leadership
and Steering Group members. He wil come up with a process to organise the
OFFICIAL
response and ensure everything is provided back within the two-week timeframe.
• The response wil be put through Steering Group to ensure full Ministry oversight
• Jo noted that the response from Ministry wil need to include all the details that were
THE
not able to be picked up during OAG’s fieldwork, including conversations and emails.
• Colin noted that how this report is responded to wil be crucial in maintaining public
confidence.
• Jo suggested that in parallel to preparing the response to the draft report, we wil also
need to prepare the C
UNDER omms side for when the report is released and provide clear
messaging on what Ministry has been doing to address the recommendations.
• Maree noted that we should also focus on benchmarks measuring the quality of the
Programme in addition to the speed.
• Jo stated that the OAG report should remain as a standing Agenda Item until the
report is published.

summary report
• The Key Decisions slide (Slide 3) is included to tie agenda items back to the
underlying risk and then to risk owner
• This week a trend line for risks has been added to showing whether level of risk
seems to be increasing or decreasing

Programme progress against milestones (Mat Parr and Andrew Bailey)
Paper considered: Milestone and progress reporting 20 April 2021 v2
Andrew provided update on milestone reporting within Programme
• He has been working with Rachel to see how to bring DHB SRO’s group closer to this
and use it as a shared understanding of upcoming events.
• Following on from a discussion at last week’s meeting, their team is working with
DHBs on developing criteria by which we can be confident that we are ready for rollout
to dif erent population groups. He wil provide further updates to Steering Group on
INFORMATION
this as the work progresses.
• They are also focusing on aligning deliverables to the major population milestones,
with Slide 4 showing what we think wil need to be in place per workstreams for the
different Tiers
• A future challenge wil be how to capture the dif erent performance across DHBs
within this framework
OFFICIAL
Group Discussion
• Deborah asked how it was pos
THE sible to be confident for the rollout to all the Population
cohorts while having many unknowns in the Deliverables section
• Andrew agreed that perhaps for the later Tiers, particularly Tier 4, the indicators could
be updated to reflect uncertainty. He also noted that some deliverables were less
critical and could be rated Amber while allowing overall objective to remain green.
• A general discussion t
UNDER ook place regarding how to ensure the document reflected the
key risks identified within risk register and OAG report.
• Some refinement of the document was suggested in order to ensure that critical points
were highlighted and drawn to the attention of the Steering Group for awareness and
for actions to be taken.
Action 4: Updates to be made to milestone reporting document to enable critical points
to be identified and brought to attention of Steering Group

Update on large event planning (Richard Clarke and Jane Mason)
Mat provided an introduction, explaining that Richard and Jane were from Auckland
Unlimited, a large events company who are helping to develop a playbook for mass
vaccination events.
• The goal is to have a first draft within the next couple weeks and then, vaccine stock
permit ing, looking at an event around late June, ideally in Counties Manukau
Document 2
• Around late August there could then be potential to run additional large-scale events
when general population is fully eligible for vaccine
Richard and Jane provided a brief overview of the work of Auckland Unlimited.
• They wil approach event to structure it around the medical team as the “performers”
• They are looking at key workstreams required to carry out the event, as well as
analysing best practice internationally where mass COVID-19 vaccination events have
already occurred, while recognising such events in New Zealand would be unique in
that we are not facing active community transmission
Group Discussion
• Responding to a question from Jo, Richard advised that the timelines for their work
would depend on the resources Ministry is able to allocate to this
• Mat noted that the plan would not be a one-size-fits-all approach, and would be made
available to all DHBs
1982
• Richard said Auckland Unlimited will initially focus on developing the guidelines, but
could also provide consulting services on any location around the country as well as a
delivery service if needed.
ACT
• Colin highlighted that we need to be very clear upfront about how we envisage this
model working. For example, is it something that wil be stood up over a weekend or a
longer running event to deliver both doses.
• Jo said that it would also be important for Auckland Unlimited to try to develop an
understanding of which parts of the population wil respond to events like this, as there
could be trade-of s with other delivery systems.
• Joe noted that there is a draft paper that looks at equity via dif erent delivery models
and that he would circulate this to Steering Group once it is finalised.
• Jo noted that there wil be a need to engage DHB SROs from the beginning of this
INFORMATION
process, although approach wil probably not be suitable for all DHBs.
• Colin noted that the big benefit of such an event would be if it could be run in a way
that is additive to existing activities, rather than drawing from existing resources and
becoming a substitution.
Action 5: Provide further clarity to Auckland Unlimited on structure of mass events
their planning should target.

Cook Islands and Polynesia update and rol out plan (Megan McCoy)
Paper considered: Polynesia vaccine roll-out for steering group 19 April
Megan provided an overview of current state of play for Cook Islands and Polynesian vaccine
rollout
UNDER
• Documents have been prepared for the Vaccine Ministers meeting on Friday to give
an initial indication of when vaccine rollout could commence in Cook Islands
• The chart shows the high-level steps that need to be done to meet an ambitious start
date of mid-May
• The plan is broken down into steps by workstream, noting that the requirements of
the pharmaceutical companies is the step that wil ultimately determine if rollout is
RELEASED
possible or not.
• In the Memo circulated it is proposed that Steering Group would need to provide
approval prior to the rollout in each of the six Polynesian countries
• Depending on the updates from Pfizer and Cook Islands it may be possible within the
next few weeks to come to Steering Group for advice about Cook Islands rollout
• In order for the activity to go ahead it wil be essential to have a dedicated GM in
place
Document 2
Group Discussion
• It was noted that rolling out the vaccine in Cook Islands and Polynesia at the same
time as scaling up in New Zealand would be a challenge, although the possibility to
start with the countries with smaller populations before building up to the larger ones
good reduce this pressure slightly.
• Jo stressed that without a dedicated GM with operational experience the activity
couldn’t go ahead, and this message would need to be reiterated to Vaccine Ministers.
This has already been requested via NZDF but we are yet to receive any proposals.
• Maree noted that as we are operating in an environment of resource scarcity, notably
around vaccine supply until end of June, the plan for this rollout cannot be considered
in isolation but must be considered alongside the plan for the domestic rollout
• Megan noted that there may be a need to develop a small pool of deployable
vaccinators, possibly looking to draw on non-regulated workforce here who are 1982
qualified in the Pacific.
Action 7: Request for resourcing, including a GM for Polynesian vaccine rollout, to be

Update on options for active monitoring of adverse reactions (Tim Hanlon)
Tim gave an update on active monitoring of adverse events.
• The backbone of the safety system in New Zealand is passive monitoring via CARM
INFORMATION
• The significant risk to the Programme around monitoring was initially whether CARM
could be scaled to the extent needed, although the ability for that scaling to take place
is now within touching distance
• Active monitoring, such as via SMS, would not give extra safety signals but could
increase the dataset and therefore increase consumer confidence
• This would be possible, but would require a lot of technical input and additional
OFFICIAL
resourcing
• The Group raised concern about possibly overstretching Programme, particularly if
active reporting wouldn’t addr
THE ess safety issues
• Jo asked for a paper to be prepared over the next couple weeks to show what the
resource requirements could be, and how this could be done in a sustainable way.

Update on DHB equity plans (Jason Moses)
Paper considered: 20210419 DHB Plans and Equity Analysis
Jason provided an overview of his analysis of current DHB plans
INFORMATION
• The pressure to increase volumes must not distract from equity considerations
• The single biggest thing that can be done to remove barriers to access is to mobilise
delivery, rather than focusing on mass vaccination events that may not be accessible
to all
Jo noted that within the Accountability Framework it is being made that that DHBs are
OFFICIAL
accountable for range of things, of which equity is the most important. Initial conversations

Measuring success of the COVID-19 immunisation programme (Al ison Bennett
)
Paper considered: Measuring Success of the COVID-19 Immunisation Programme_22 April
Alison provided an overview of the paper circulated
• The main proposal of the paper is that we should set the national goal to vaccinate “as
many people as possible”
• One reason for this is that we stil don’t know enough about the individual vaccines to
have a population immunity target
INFORMATION
• Given that not everyone is eligible for Pfizer vaccine, if almost every adult who is
eligible chooses to be vaccinated it would equate to roughly 76% vaccine coverage of
the New Zealand population
• The paper also focuses on how to showcase the success of the programme as a
positive view of component parts (such as equity, sustainability, efficiency) rather than
purely on a numerical basis OFFICIAL
Group discussion
• Discussion centred on the need t

includes the recommendation to make a COVID-19 specific regulatory change, to
ACT
ensure this workforce can be active as soon as possible
• The proposed regulatory change would allow this workforce to administer vaccinations
under supervision
• This change would address the short-term need for COVID-19 vaccinators, with
additional work required to consider how to make this workforce eligible vaccinators in
a permanent sense to deliver legacy benefits
