Appropriate vaccine warnings

Virginia Crawford made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: Virginia Crawford

Dear Ministry of Health,

The FDA has stated the following:

All descriptive printed matter, advertising, and promotional material relating to the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine clearly and conspicuously shall state that:

This product has not been approved or licensed by FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA, under an EUA to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for use in individuals 16 years of age and older; and

The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.

https://www.fda.gov/media/144412/download

Could you please confirm that a similar protocol will be instituted in New Zealand, i.e. that all recipients of the vaccine will be given a leaflet or other documentation to indicate that this vaccine has been given temporary approval only in New Zealand and is not yet fully licensed for use in this country.

Yours faithfully,

Virginia Crawford
