Proprietory Ingredients of Pfizer Covid vaccine
S C McKee made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was successful.
From: S C McKee
Dear Ministry of Health,
In order to make an informed decision about the safety of receiving the Pfizer vaccine for Covid19 , I require to know all the ingredients of the vaccine that will enter my body.
Are there any ingredients of the Pfizer vaccine that are "proprietory" ie, identification of the ingredient is withheld because of commercial ownership of the ingredient?
Yours faithfully,
S C McKee
