Contract for disposal of Covid vaccines
Catherine Jamieson made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Catherine Jamieson to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Catherine Jamieson
Dear Health New Zealand,
What are, or have, been the contracted waste disposal company/companies contracted to retrieve and dispose of Covid vaccines that have been distributed to provider sites? If the contract is or has been held by different companies please list and identify what dates or locations the contract applies or applied.
What entity has the contract for doses that were wasted at the DHL or Healthcare Logistics wasted at the warehouse? What is the process when this occurs? Does the process merge with disposal of vaccines that have been distributed to provider sites?
In what region(s) are the secure landfill sites where the vaccine packaging and product are buried?
Yours faithfully,
Catherine Jamieson
