Kia ora Erika, 

Thank you for your request for official information received on 22 August
2023 for:

“1. What advice did the Ministry of Health to give employers for employees
raising safety concerns  to the Employer/PCBU  regarding the Pfizer
vaccination?

2. What advice did the Ministry of Health give to employers for staff
raising any personal grievances on that matter in relation to the Covid 19
Public Health  Response (vaccinations) Order 2021?

Please could I have the minutes, emails and any correspondence, policy
documents, and advice documents for these? I would also like a copy of any
document templates or information packs created for sharing such advice

We are contacting you to clarify part of your request.

Employee situations were run out of the Ministry of Innovation, Business
and Employment (MBIE). Manatû Hauora did not provide direct advice to
employers/employees. MBIE papers and websites are publicly available and
that is about all of the information we hold. This request aligns more
with the functions of MBIE. As such, could you please clarify if you
seeking advice from MBIE or Manatû Hauora in regard to advice for
employers on vaccine safety and personal grievances?

Please note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982, any
clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days after the
date it is received, that request may be treated as a new request and the
time limit for the response restarts.

We look forward to receiving your response.

Ngâ mihi
