Dear Byron Terris
Official Information Act request relating to [Terris] How many 'border workers' for Covid
vaccination
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act (the Act), received on
16 February 2021. You requested:
“ How many people are considered "Border Workers" for Covid-19 vaccination purposes
including household close contacts? ”
I believe that the information you have requested is more closely connected with the functions
of the Ministry of Health. Accordingly, I have decided under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act to
transfer your request to the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this transfer to
make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
