Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of
Health – Manatū Hauora (the Ministry) on 15 June 2024 for:
“Please provide the reason the above Gazette Notice was required with respect to the
Tozinameran 0.5mg/mL Concentrate for Injection product. It appears to be identical to the
notice gazetted in respect of that product on 5 April 2022.“
For ease of reference, I have provided links to the gazette notices you have referenced:
• 17 June 2022:
https://gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/2022-go2431
• 6 April 2022:
https:/ gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/2022-go1309.
Gazette notices allow the government to officially inform the public about its decisions and
actions by providing a formal record of important announcements. Any changes or updates to the
information in the original notice (eg, revised dates, additional details, or modified terms) may
result in re-publication or revision of an earlier gazette notice. This ensures that all official records
remain accurate, and in line with any legal and administrative requirements.
In response to your question, you wil note that the 17 June 2022 notice includes a section on the
provisional consent of NUVAXOVID.
I trust this information fulfils your request. 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.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
Manatū Hauora website at:

Nāku noa, nā
