Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of
Health (the Ministry) on 10 November 2021 for:
“…how many Covid-19 vaccinations Dr [Shane] Reti has administered since the rollout
commenced.”
Dr Reti is an authorised vaccinator under the Medicines Regulations 1984 in addition to his role
as a Member of Parliament. Given the public interest in the vaccination programme, and with
media being present when he has administered vaccines, the Ministry has decided to release
this information to you. I can advise that as of 3pm on 15 November 2021, Dr Reti has
administered 110 doses of the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine at two sites in Northland.
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
Ministry website at:
