Un-redacted Pfizer Contract Covid-19 Vaccine

Kerry Thompson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was refused by Ministry of Health.

From: Kerry Thompson

Dear Ministry of Health,

Please urgently release un-redacted Pfizer Contract for Covid-19. This contract should not have to be requested for release, it should be an accessible document on NZ Parliament/Govt website as this information belongs to the people of NZ. A reminder - NZ Government and its departments work for the people of NZ and they are accountable for all their actions etc to the people of NZ.

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Kerry Thompson

Kia ora Kerry,

The information you have requested is withheld in full under the following
sections of the Act:

o Section 9(2)(b)(ii), where its release would likely unreasonably
prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied the
information;
o Section 9(2)(ba)(ii), to protect information that is subject to an
obligation of confidence and making it available would likely damage
the public interest; and
o Section 9(2)(c), to avoid prejudice to measures to protect the health
or safety of the public.

I have considered the countervailing public interest in release in making
this decision and consider that it does not outweigh the need to withhold
at this time.  

You may be interested in a summary statement with information on the
COVID-19 vaccine procurement process and the nature of the commitments
made by the Government across all the contracts. The summary statement can
be found

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: [6][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: [7][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.
