Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to Manatû Hauora (the Ministry of Health) on 10 December 2023 for:

“Which vaccines used in NZ including ALL childhood vaccinations on the NZ schedule use HEK293, MRC-5 and WI-38 or any aborted fetal tissue. Under religious law I have the right to know. Which vaccines cause Autism? Can you find out if the cell line HEK293 was from an aborted fetus with deformities. Eg intestines on the outside of her body. Under religious law I have the right to know. What are the rates/percentage of autustic children among the unvaccinated children and adults In Nz? And if there is no information on this, why is there no studies or information on this.”

Your request is refused in its entirety under section 18(g)(i) of the Act, as the Act does not support requests in which a requester quotes information or asserts an opinion and then seeks some form of comment on it, couched as a request for official information.
Please refer to the earlier response the Ministry provided you on 21 June 2023 (H2023027385 refers) and 18 July 2023 (H2023027385 refers).

Further information regarding the MMR vaccine is available on Medsafe’s website at: https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/searchResult.... A description of the medicine evaluation process which includes how the safety of a medicine is established before it is approved for use in New Zealand is also available here: http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/saf....

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact the OIA Services Team on: [email address].

Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at: [email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
