Subject: Official Information request - EPA determination process
classification of BNT162b2 as a new organism
 
[You don't often get email from

Dear Environmental Protection Authority,

Re: EPA’s determination process
A. Please confirm all members of the Decision-Making Committee (DMC) as
mentioned on this page.
[6]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

B. Please provide all information and advice sent from Tim Strabala to the
Decision-Making Committee (DMC) members including Dr Kerry Laing (Chair)
and Dr Julie Everett-Hincks from January 22nd to February 11 in relation
to the DMC's determination whether the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine BNT162b2
(COMIRNATYTM) was a new organism for the purpose of the Hazardous
Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.

This date (Jan 22) is the rough date when it was agreed that a DMC would
be convened.

As Strabala authored the January 29 2021 Staff Assessment report he would
be a primary contact to assist the DMC in their consideration.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
