Thank you for your request for official information, received on 10
September 2021 requesting:
“I would like to make a request for copies of all COVID-19 Vaccine

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 16 February 2022. You
asked for:
For these two advisory groups: 1) COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group 2)
COVID-19 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group
I would like to request copies of
1) All meeting minutes
2) All reports or advice they have produced and submitted to any minister
dated since the beginning of November 2021.
The Ministry sincerely apologises for the delay in processing your OIA
response. While the Ministry continues to work on your request, the
Ministry is releasing CV-TAG memos and meeting minutes from November 2021.
These documents are enclosed with this email as Appendix 1 and 2. Please
note some information has been withheld under 9(2)(k) of the Act, to
prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or
advantage. I have considered the countervailing public interest in release
in making this decision and consider that it does not outweigh the need to
withhold at this time. The Ministry continues to process the remaining
parts of your request and will provide you with a decision in due course.
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made on your request. The Ombudsman may be contacted
by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.

Dear Ministry of Health,
I was wanting to follow up on my request of 15 February. On 4 April you provided me with a partial response and advised me that "the Ministry continues to process the remaining parts of your request and will provide you with a decision in due course." Are you able to let me know when I can expect the remainder of your response?
Yours sincerely,
Sebastian

Dear Ministry of Health,
I'm following up on this request again, which on 19 May you told me by email was "currently progressing through Ministry signout and is projected to be sent to you by early June."

Yours sincerely,
Sebastian

Thank you for your email regarding your request for information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of Health (the
Ministry) on 16 February 2022. You asked for:
For these two advisory groups: 1) COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group 2)
COVID-19 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group
I would like to request copies of
1) All meeting minutes
2) All reports or advice they have produced and submitted to any minister
dated since the beginning of November 2021.
On 4 April 2022, you received a response from the Ministry where copies of
the CV-TAG memos and meeting minutes from November 2021 were released to
you.
Please find attached the remaining CV-TAG memos and meeting minutes
requested. These documents are enclosed with this email as Appendix 1, 2
and 3. Please note some information has been withheld under 9(2)(k) of the
Act, to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper
gain or advantage. The Ministry has considered the countervailing public
interest in release in making this decision and consider that it does not
outweigh the need to withhold at this time.
The Ministry sincerely apologises for the delay in processing your OIA
response.
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made on your request. The Ombudsman may be contacted
by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
