Why did vaccinating NZDF staff officially slow down this month?

Mr M P Ross made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was successful.

From: Mr M P Ross

Dear Ministry of Health,

Members of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) were told this month that the Ministry of Health's (MOH) national vaccination programme was slowing down and appointments were cancelled and closed until 15th June 2021

Under the Official Information Act I ask the following;

1) Why was is there a slow down to vaccinating people (including the NZDF) in the national vaccination programme?
2) Why were all appointment times removed for appoints that had to be rescheduled until after 15th June 2021?
3) How long was the booking system closed for NZDF staff to book an appointment to receive their vaccination?
4) Prior to 15th June 2021, did the NZDF have enough doses to vaccinate all it's staff twice, as part of the MOH national vaccination programme?

Yours faithfully,

Mr M P Ross
