    Dear OIA Requests,
To refine the request, we wish to limit it to Pfizer provided documentation covering briefings and memos related to the Comirnaty vaccine.
Should this still be too broad, then further limit the document to containing the keyword "BNT162b2" which would enable a computer based search to be conducted very easily and quickly on this keyword to prepare such a list of document titles and dates.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Jones
        From: OIA Requests
      
    
    Kia ora Paul, 
 
Thank you for your email. We are seeking further clarification to your request. Please clarify what you are meaning by Pfizer provided documentation. Are you referring to documentation received by the Ministry of Health from Pfizer?
We look forward to receiving your response.

      The Ministry of Health is just playing word games to avoid providing documentation from Pfizer, it makes you wonder why they are trying to protect and hide documentation from the public.
We did get a partially successful request here though https://fyi.org.nz/request/15806-pfizer-... stating Pfizer documentation was submitted as apart of the application on 13 Nov and 9 Dec 2020.
    
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
 - Download a zip file of all correspondence (note: this contains the same information already available above).
