Please see attached for MBIE’s response to your Official Information Act
request. There are nine documents in scope: 5 weekly reports and 2 minutes
each from Taskforce and Science Advisory Group meetings.
Document 1 refers to two vaccines by codenames, as these negotiations were
confidential until the agreements were announced. For reference, Nutella =
Novavax and Starburst = AstraZeneca.
I hope this information satisfies your request, and please let us know if
you have any questions.
Ngâ mihi
