Forced Ministry of Health slowdown/cancelation of vaccinations to NZDF members this month.

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

The request was successful.

From: Mr M P Ross

Dear Ministry of Defence,

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) What was the reason there a slow down to vaccinating people (including the NZDF) in the national vaccination programme that was given to the Ministry of Defence?
2) Who specifically told the Ministry of Defence that there was to be a slow down of vaccinating NZDF staff?
2a) If applicable can you please provide these communications (emails, letters etc).
3) Why were all appointment times removed for already confirmed appointments and had to be rescheduled until after 15th June 2021?
4) How long was the booking system closed for NZDF staff to book an appointment to receive their vaccination?
5) Prior to 15th June 2021, did the NZDF have enough doses 'at hand' to vaccinate all it's staff twice, as part of the MOH national vaccination programme?

Yours faithfully,

Mr M Ross
