Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 28 July 2021 for
information regarding Pfizer contracts and agreements. You specifically requested:
1)
the Title of all written Contracts and Agreements the NZ Government and its
Departments have entered in with Pfizer for its Comirnaty vaccine.
2) the Title of the written Contract or Agreement that specifies the price per dose of
Comirnaty vaccine.
3) “for each listed Contract/Agreement specify those that are marked "Confidential”.
The contracts titled:
Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between Pfizer New Zealand Limited
and the Sovereign in right of New Zealand and
Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between
Pfizer Overseas LLC and the Sovereign in Right of New Zealand outline the price per dose of
the Corminarty vaccine and are the only contracts between the Crown (including all Government
agencies) and Pfizer regarding the supply of Comirnaty. Both contracts contain commercially
sensitive material and are marked confidential.
I trust this fulfils your request. Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the
Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
