Subject: Official Information request - Reserved lots of covid “vaccines”
 
Attn Ministry of Health,

I am seeking information relating to any and all covid “vaccines” which
have been “reserved” or otherwise specially allocated to designated groups
and/or individuals (eg manufacturing lots/batches that were reserved or
otherwise set aside for Pfizer employees):

1- I am seeking information that identifies lot/batch numbers, groups, and
individuals, relating to any such “reserves” or other special allocations.

2- I am seeking information relating to adverse events associated with
such lots/batches (per lot/batch), and how they compare to overall rates
of adverse events.

3- I am seeking information relating to the reasoning and justification as
to why any lots/batches have been “reserved” or otherwise specially
allocated to designated groups and/or individuals.

4- I am seeking all test/QA data for all lots/batches which have been
“reserved” or otherwise specially allocated. If any testing that would
usually be performed (eg quality and purity testing) was not performed for
such “reserved” or otherwise specially allocated lots/batches, please
provide information detailing why such tests were not performed.

5- I am seeking information relating to the costs of specially allocating
and managing any such “reserves” or other special allocations.

6- I am seeking all other information held by The Ministry of Health
relating to any lots/batches which have been “reserved” or otherwise
specially allocated to designated groups and/or individuals, and referrals
to other parties that may hold such information.

Thank you,
ASE
