From: Chris McCashin
Dear Ministry of Health,
The Adverse Effects Following Immunisation here https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/saf... does not have a category for 0 to 9 year olds. However when downloading the AEFI spreadsheet line listing there are reports of AEFI for the 0 to 9 year age bracket. How are we getting adverse reactions to this age bracket if the vaccine is not approved for use for people of this age?
Yours faithfully,
Chris

Thank you for your email requesting:
The Adverse Effects Following Immunisation here
[1][1]https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/saf... not
have a category for 0 to 9 year olds. However when downloading the AEFI
spreadsheet line listing there are reports of AEFI for the 0 to 9 year
age
bracket. How are we getting adverse reactions to this age bracket if the
vaccine is not approved for use for people of this age?
Breastfeeding mothers are categorised in the 0-9 year old age bracket for
AEFI reporting, which is why adverse reactions are appearing in this age
bracket.
Please note, as of 16 December 2021, the Pfizer Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine
has been approved for children 5 years and older. More information about
vaccine approval is available
at: [2]www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/status-of-applications.asp#Comirnaty5
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

Dear OIA Requests,
So the vaccine is so safe it will make infants ill from their mothers?
The Ministry of Health has absolutely no idea about health. Gene therapy and dependency on pharmaceuticals are not health.
The credibility at the agency is long gone and we are at the point where nobody listens to you.
Yours sincerely,
Chris McCashin
