Subject: Official Information request - Pfizer contractual restrictions

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

I would like to request what the NZ Govt contract with Pfizer restricts,
specifically relating to:

1. COVID-19 vaccines from other competing pharmaceutical companies
2. COVID-19 prophylactic treatments (e.g. ivermectin/HCQ etc regardless of
in/effectiveness)
3. COVID-19 non-prophylactic/hospitalised treatments (e.g. monoclonal
antibodies etc)

Yours faithfully,

Robert McLeod

Dear OIA Requests,

I am sorry but you seem to have gotten this request confused with
another.  I am not requesting a copy of the full Pfizer contract. I am
requesting to know any restrictions, if any, that the contract contains.

Yours sincerely,

R McLeod
