Dear Ministry of Health,
Regarding monkeypox and content on your updated website:
https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise...
Please supply information from January 2020 to the current date:
1. All information and evidence associating/evidencing monkeypox as an airborne virus. This includes reports, reviews, information received by email, as reports or appendices.

This includes quantities and financial value of each vaccine brand that has been either quoted for or that a purchasing arrangement has been signed. Please include dates on all documents.
4. All information, reports, communications received by the Ministry detailing prospective or current orders of RT-CPR or other testing kits for orthopoxviruses.
5. All information/directives to New Zealand DHBs and IANZ accredited medical laboratories relating to serological testing for orthopoxviruses.
Yours faithfully,
