Results of your Vaccination and pregnancy study
Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to University of Auckland
Response to this request is long overdue. By law University of Auckland should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Erika Whittome
Dear University of Auckland,
I see there was a registry and a study run by the university of auckland for pregnancy and Covid vaccination here https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/liggins/ou...
Would you please share the report and results of this study?
Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome
From: Landon Watt
University of Auckland
Dear Erika,
I refer to your request of 16 June 2024. The University’s response
follows:
“I see there was a registry and a study run by the university of auckland
for pregnancy and Covid vaccination here
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/liggins/ou...
Would you please share the report and results of this study?”
The study has not been active for the past two years, and the current
ethics approval expired at the end of May 2024. I have provided a copy of
Associate Professor Katie Groom’s email of 14 March 2022 to contributors
explaining the rationale for ending notifications and discussing the
project, and other documents, to provide context.
There have been no publications based on the data, summaries of the data,
or other reports based on the data (in draft or final form whether
published or unpublished). The information requested is not held by the
University. This constitutes a refusal of your request under section
18(g) of the OIA. You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman
if you are dissatisfied with this response.
Yours sincerely,
Landon Watt
